Not exactly. The GUI variant of the updater that you tried also didn't work well.

CLI mostly works ok (unless a bug causes your DE to be uninstalled if you try to install steam), but GUI is very hit-and-miss.

Just the other day I had a bug in XFCE where I want to scale up the contents of the screen. So I use the GUI display config tool, set the scale to 0.5 (because for some reason they scale the wrong way round, <1 enlarges, >2 makes things smaller). It does work, the display gets scaled up.

After I'm done I want to scale back down and the GUI display config tool just locks up on startup and only shows a blank window with a few blank dropdowns.

A bit of googleing later I found the config file where I can change it back and once I changed the scaling to 1 again, the GUI tool worked again.

I've been using Linux exclusively for many years now, but without google I couldn't have fixed that.
