How often do you find your mandriva "breaking"?

I mean, after some updates, suddenly something does not work as it should...
Then some day, things get back together again..... or sometimes not.

Latest one I had was audio disappearing for a week or so. Audio came back
this past Sunday.

Anyone else have similar experiences with other distros?
