in over 10 years i had my system break only once on arch, it was fixed within a minute.

What part of "babysitting your OS" you incels did not understand?
It's not about having the skill or not, anyone who used Arch for 1+ years can brag about knowing most of *nix well
It's about the fact that you have to sit down and waste time repairing what you shouldn't have to repair, it's not about being capable or not
>don't know how to use something

>i-it's not about s-skill
keep coping brainlet
Shit breaks everywhere
I've used both windows and macos, you can't pull this "everything magically works all the time" shit on me
>incels
Look mom! I said the word!
It's because you don't do anything with your PC other than browse LULZ and play vidya tbh
Do any of the following
>any ricing
>any software dev
>any python ML stuff
>anything NVIDIA/CUDA
Lurk for another 10 years, learn to code in the meanwhile, then necro this thread you NEET waste
I use Xilinx's software and ST's IDE for their MCUs on arch to regularly work with dev boards that cost more than your setup and it has never caused an issue.
>ricing
>as an example for doing something with your computer
Shut the fuck up you retarded neet

lmao, those quotes are not even the same people ...
anyway, you i got bored by your incompetance, enjoy being a skilless crybaby.
fucking pinecone, i use bspwm, i do python and ml stuff and that's just the cheap easy stuff.
i do system programming, i even wrote drivers ffs.
i also do reverse engineering and binary exploitation.
i've won hacking competitions.
i've been a cybersec consultant for a bank.
i reverse engineered hardware and wrote drivers for it, can you say the same ?
name a programming language or a tech and i most likely know how to use it.
now i'm actually living off software engineering.
nvidia and cuda works perfectly as well, i don't even see how that's an issue, heck in fact i often even pass my gpu to lxd containers, or do vgpu pasthrough, no issue there as well.
you are just an incompetant twat, if you even think arch just breaks, either you haven't even used it and just believe the meme or you are a complete moron that just run random command without knowing what they do.
anyway i'm mostly on nixos these days, but i never had any issues with arch and it breaking isn't why i went to nixos anyway.
also, you know you can just use zfs in the worse case if you are a moron right, or you are too dumb for even that ?
sigh you think you are all elite and whatnot when you are barely at the midwit level.
>thinking ricing is peak of what can be done with his computer.
like all the example you provided are like kidergarden stuff....
literally who does any serious ML training work on their pc

Yeah, I think pass
Question to freetards: Can’t you just image the boot partition and all other disk partitions? Cloning can also helps. Why do you reinstall the whole thing if something breaks.
the just nuke it is only something that happens on windows or on tech illiterate linux users, it's trivial to fix a broken install.
we don't, OP is just a moron
also this
I just follow the archwiki religiously and I've never had a problem. Arch is freakishly stable for a rolling release
This.
Arch is the only distro with an impeccable and precise documentation.
we don't even need to do dumbsuch as image partition, we can just fix what's broken in a few commands usually.
OP is just tech illiterate.
>if that happens just spend the next three hours babysitting your computer tryna find where the ouchie is
Linux will tell you exactly whats wrong with it. On arch its almost always in dmesg or journalctl.
Its not like windows where you get a vague error code that could mean 20 things, and the fix for every error code is autorepair followed by /sfc scannow followed by a reinstall.
In the worst case scenario/I'm too lazy to fix it, I'll just use timeshift.
TIIIIMMEEE (shift) WE DISCOVER THE ENTRY TO OTHER PLANES
>why do archtards reinstall everything
Since they have no idea what they are doing, for them restarting from scratch using their tutorial is the only way of "fixing" anything
i am convinced the "no updates" meme is an orchestrated attempted at glowies to make channers PCs more vulnerable to attack
to be fair, anybody dumb enough to by into those memes deserves glowie spying

It's never happened to me in 5 years. However if it did happen, it would not be a problem. All my dotfiles and source code are backed up automatically. It would take less than an hour to get a working desktop even if Arch completely shit the bed, and I've tested that on other machines.
This might sound ignorant, but why do people save dotfiles and configfiles ?
Is your software heavily modified ?
I ask, because I almost never change the settings.
what's an convenient way to backup my dotfiles archbros?
You can use git or even a usb flash drive.
I'm tired of brand wars. Ubuntu is a reasonable choice. I'm glad you have an operating system that you enjoy using and fits your use case.
for me, it's git + GNU Stow
not a problem on GNU Guix, just rollback
Skill issue
I don't update every single day
not my problem
>>take that 20% chance of your system rebooting bricked
Never happened to me in the 3+ years I have been using arch, skill issue
see this
It's because you are not a poweruser
You don't rice anything, you just play videogames and use Discord
>ricers
>poweruser
Not the same branch imo
What makes a power user in the context of Arch?
And you see this
You have never done anything meaningful on your computer so it's normal you'd think installing an IDE would somehow break your system.
I've been using Arch for more than 5 years, It never broke and I didn't intall Steam or Discord or whatever bullshit.
I don't get what you low iq naggers are always on about pacman destroying your system.
You retards copy and paste every command on the internet with out knowing what your are doing? Or install any AUR shit with out thinking?
Been using Arch for 13 years and never had any problems, in fact it has been more stable than any LTS distro I ever used.
The only time I fucked my entire system beyond repair, it was when I was messing with GPU drivers, but it was my fault because at the time I was experimenting with things beyond my skill level.
>not having daily snapshots running with timeshift and having cmds for chroot ready on a peice of paper
>not using stable distro like Debian and not worrying about breaking anything
debian is less stable than arch, their packages are so old that they sometime apply their own patches on them, which sometimes introduce new bugs, then people go report bugs on github or other mailing list to devs of software when it's not even their fault but the debian's team...
Debian is more stable than arch, because versions are frozen and only security fixes are applied. Even Debian testing is more stable because they actually test shit before mindlessly pushing to users.
Arch at least 5 times seriously fucked up things in the last year alone.
How good is testing for daily use?
I'm on it for last 6 months, only manual intervention I needed is when they split non-free repo to non-free and non-free-firmware
which means more manual intervention than i had on arch, last manual intervention was maybe 2 years ago, i've had the SAME installation for 10 years, and it has been used by 3 different computers with a change of cpu and gpu vendor in between, i didn't have to re install arch in a decade and it still works.
stop lying on the internet, I used Arch and I know that you are full of shit
lmao, you are basically just admitting that you are a dumbass that doesn't know how to manage his system.
It's not my fault Archtards can't into GRUB, pipewire and kernel maintainance
>tfw been using wireplumber with no issues even before that change
>tfw been using systemd-boot since I've made this arch config
Why are people this retarded?
Why do they feel compelled to use this high maintenance distro if they can't even properly configure their systems?
>why doesn't everyone has exactly the same hardware and setup as I
only retard here is you
Sounds pretty good. How often does it need to updoot?
What are you talking about?
Never had a problem arch in almost 4 years. Sounds like a you problem.
>take that 20% chance of your system rebooting bricked
Arch never bricks unless you update it partially like a fucking neanderthal
Ubuntu LTS Chads rise up
>Uses bleeding-edge loonix distro
>Complains about updates
I've been getting into Linux lately and I've been struggling to understand exactly why anyone would ever use anything other than Arch. I tried other distributions and half the things I tried to get via their package managers just didn't work. It seems like everything I ever need is just a pacman command away on Arch, and then I can look at the Wiki for info on anything I need to, so why would I use a different distro? I don't get it.
Skill issue
>bro just do that sysupdate
That was your first mistake right there. Listing to shitheads.
