    I’ve been using Linux exclusively for about 6 years now (god…) and I’m terrified whenever I have to tinker with a windows machine at work. everything is so incredibly obtuse and arcane and ive forgotten all about it by now














  • genuinely what’s up with all those arch update memes? arch user of 5 years with no reinstalls, it “broke” on me exactly once lately when Lua switched versions and borked AwesomeWM. the fix was looking at the output to understand the problem and running “pacman -S lua54” or whatever version. like, that’s it

    I’ve literally had more problems with Ubuntu and Rocky upgrades (tho as with most things Linux, its mostly user fault with custom repositories and all but that’s a moot point because I use AUR on Arch too and that’s been fine)

    Arch is a do it yourself distro, which includes some maintenance - all of which is explained in the wiki during the installation process and mostly comes down to checking the news for required manual actions and looking through pacdiffs. if you skipped that part of required reading, arch might just not be for you and yea it’s Gonna break
