And yet I’ve never had an apt upgrade break my whole system.
Define 'Break'... /j
Unable to boot after the update. That’s happened to me multiple times with pacman, so I eventually switched to Fedora.
@hperrin@lemmy.ca Interesting, how?
On artix I update system and nothing breake my system.
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.
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.
