I’m happy to say “i use arch btw” (actually CachyOS but without most of the weird cachyos-stuff but still using their v3 repositories) for about two weeks now. It’s pretty great so far, no breakages or anything, feels very responsive and updates are much quicker to do, too, because pacman works really fast.
Alongside with Debian Sid and flakified NixOS of course…
You aren’t the only one! Living on the bleeding edge did have its benefits, but I’ll take the reliability of Fedora over dealing with random Arch issues any day (it helps that Fedora still keeps its packages very up to date so you don’t miss much). Arch did teach me a lot so I still appreciate it, and they do have the best wiki!
All my friends with endeavour are clueless when their system eventually breaks because they haven’t done the manual install and so they haven’t read the wiki and they have no idea how to actually repair their system
i’m using it for half a year or so. Have done multiple system upgrades by now. My only question is “how!?”. How did they manage to break it? I have lots of AURs installed, i did intall some python dependencies with pip --break-system-packages, it still runs perfectly.
One’s pc crashed during a system upgrade and the other just wouldn’t boot after the system upgrade. I told him to mount his partition using the liveusb and backup his stuff and he was clueless
I broke my system a few times, but I know what I did. Once I tried to remove mesa and everything it’s a dependency for…not realizing it’s part of the kernel. Another time I messed up my video drivers trying to install Optimus.
Actually a lot of my breaks can be traced to Nvidia being a shitass about supporting Linux. But I need the proprietary drivers for my editing software
I waited for this comment to be relevant for the entirety of the episode. As I closed it, I heard the word “inflation” and I had to bring the video back up to finally understand what you meant by this lmao
