I Syu every other day and I literally cannot remember the last time I had to fix anything in my Arch setup (outside of initial setup)

almost every time I Syu something breaks.

I honestly can't imagine why that's happening, what's up with your setup?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

I might be wrong, but after thinking about this for a while I came to the conclusion that probably most of their packages come from AUR in God knows what conditions. Also, has a funny alias for pacman that breaks everything.

Do you do that every two years?

[–] refalo 5 points 6 months ago

I would consider any amount of time passed causing breakage to be a design problem.

Reason why I started doing btrfs snapshots before every update

But you get updates frequently. You could have a system that you can setup automatic updates that happen infrequently

Right. I update frequently and have no issues.
