Updates are like russian roulette
You just never know when one update is going to bring everything down in flames. I needed to try something that wasn't working on Arch, so I used a fedora ISO I had downloaded last year. 1.7G iso, released less than four months ago. I do an install and then an apt, dnf yum or whatever it is called update and it has to download 1.1G of crap. Why? On 4G with a yagi it still takes eons.
