And yet I’ve never had an apt upgrade break my whole system.
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
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
my beloved
Define 'Break'... /j
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.
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)
No idea. I updated it, and then it wouldn’t boot. So, I reinstalled.
You must be very lucky then. I've seen it happen so many times.
