On the one hand, it's kind of fun and educational to have something break in a novel way so that you can figure out how to fix it. On the other hand, those things only break when you have something important to do. I try to keep my laptop in good shape, and then do the unspeakable to my desktop machine at home. If I ever need to do something urgently (fill out a spreadsheet to apply for a scholarship) and something is broken (libreoffice can't find libhahakissyournightgoodbye.so.1) I can always walk into the living room and do it on the laptop.
