It comes with frequent failures to boot, and every update is a russian roulette that might just force you to spend the next few hours figuring out what the fuck broke down this time.
I don’t know what distro y’all are on, but I’ve been a beginner on an Arch based distro for a couple of years and I haven’t had a major issue that wasn’t fixed by an update and reboot.
I used vanilla arch and most popular derivatives, on multiple devices, for something like 5 years. Also, I avoided using AUR whenever possible.
I haven’t had a major issue that wasn’t fixed by an update and reboot.
Meanwhile I’d update and fail to boot. True, for most scenarios I could just roll back and wait a week before updating, but I had to live boot and arch-chroot plenty of times.
The most annoying was some work backup all in one. I’d update it at most like once a month, it would fail to boot 1/3 times, and i’d rollback, wait a few weeks, and then update again with no issues.
I gave up on arch after working abroad and having to weigh which install command is more likely to fuck up my system after being too afraid to do an update for like a month.
Do you have a minute to talk about our lord and savior, archlinux?
Does it come with literature?
Debian does! :3
No, just a wiki

Not quite as long for me, but the only challenges I’ve had with CachyOS are with Windows apps and PEBKAC errors.
Depends. How many virigns in heaven do I get?
Only one, and it’s you.
Zero, but you’ll love the uniform
I did some research. Is this an apt representation of what I can expect? If it is, I’m in!
That’s it exactly. Welcome to the club.
mfw arch users are more likely to be virgins than monks.
