Yeah, maybe I'm just not smart enough but I always have the best luck with Debian/Ubuntu style distros. I'm glad Arch users are happy with Arch, it just doesn't work for me

Unable to boot after the update. That’s happened to me multiple times with pacman, so I eventually switched to Fedora.

Jokes on you, this happened to me on fedora with an nvidia gpu.

@hperrin@lemmy.ca Interesting, how?
On artix I update system and nothing breake my system.

No idea. I updated it, and then it wouldn’t boot. So, I reinstalled.

For me it was that it said "forcing this upgrade may break your system, do you want to force the upgrade?"

And I was like "yeah, fuck it", then installed mint after my system didn't come back up (it was time for my annual re-install anyway)

This is a recent example of a problem that required manual intervention or the system would not boot after updates. This happens every now and then on arch, it's why you should check arch news before updating.

You must be very lucky then. I've seen it happen so many times.

Agreed. I ran a system upgrade at home and then went to a coffee shop. My machine didn't boot at the coffee shop. I installed Fedora instead of doing what I had gone there to do
