A month ago my debian 13 laptop out of the complete blue decided it wanted zero DNS. Might have been an update that did it I am not sure.

I was unable to resolve it and ended up reinstalling.

A trivial search can find examples of Linux updates breaking all sorts of things, like wifi and other drivers/firmware.

Doesnt systemd fuck with resolv.conf?

Also, I have had many system updates that broke my X11 config

Today, literally today. My pihole updated, broke its own dns, stopped working, and broke dns for every device on my network.

Pihole's not an OS, it's an application/service.

PiHole is a Linux kernel now?

macOS ain’t kernel either, XNU is the kernel of macOS. what is it you are comparing.

You must be using some flavor that doesn't have systemd, at least. Or a Linux from a decade ago.
