If your network or sound stops working after an update, you’re either Doing It Wrong or you just have trash hardware. (Source: been using Linux since before you were born, not kidding.)

    I only used Linux for 2 years and I never had any problems with driver after update or any problems in general really.

    Sometimes both. I recently started using an old Macbook with Void, which they have notorious broadcom-wl, so I searched a lot and a got a micro network adapter. It was actually quite hard to find with a working driver because Realtek. Anyway this one I found seemed to had a dkms driver on Void repo, so I went with that. The dkms driver gives bunch of errors for some reason. I didn’t have time to debug it and just compiled from Github. Naturally I have to compile it every kernel update. I probably can add a hook for it but haven’t done that yet because lazy.
