Linux is very sensible (better dont touch it!)

Hi,
Im using btrfs snapshots tested points, to keep the most clean and stable system as Im installing/unstalling things on it from time to time, and Ive realised that everytime I install something or a third party app, something stop working as before or doesnt work properly anymore... thanks that we've snapshots available to rollback with success most of times.
for example,.. A few days ago I realised cantata lost sync. with mpd on resuming system from sleep..So Ive to put myself to thing what did I change the few days before.. Im not sure what had changed because I updated snapshot with issue within it, And now mpd gets some lag during restoring network connection on resuming. So Ive had to make some workaround scripts to "kill STOP/CONT mpd" during resume system, to wait for network connection to get stablished, to prevent that annoy lag.
I think the culprit might be the third party app I installed (HEADSET playermusic), but I'd have to uninstalled it to verify it.
Whith all of this what I meant, is that Debian/Linux distros are very sensible/unstable to anything you install (at least, when It doesnt belong to distro.), So in theses years with linux, this is one of the things that I less like about using linux...You need to watch over what you last installed and tested for a while before to accept it as part of your whole installation.
In Linux, if it works good, dont touch it, dont update it...or you will get some Headaches, like difference behavior, performance or new unexpeceted crashes!! , tha's the reason I tend to hold some apps I use everyday that are well tested and works properly..I dont updated them if not neccesary and install the minimum possible to avoid all of theses troubles.
