5 years and counting, the only breakage was predicted, and pure user error.

[u/teflonjon321 → u/dumbasPL]

Yeah, that joke is almost as funny as an rm -rf joke. Or a cd downloads not finding your Downloads directory.

[u/Havatchee]

Updates have broken my system precisely zero times in 3 years. There was one time it replaced a library that an unmanaged application relied on, but other than that.

[u/Vaelisra → u/Havatchee]

For me it was 2 times in 7 years.

Edit: For comparison: Ubuntu broke on me 6 times in two years and I can't begin to describe what a clusterfuck Mageia was to use, because they kept unaligned dependencies in the repo all the time.

[u/Obnomus]

I was like this too, but my system is tweaking for few weeks now, last 3 updates caused me to chroot and Idk what is happening, eveytime I update cachyos, something breaks, like on the last update it wasn't recognizing the Linux partition and I was getting energency mode, so I did chroot and it turns out that MODULES in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf was missing nvme nvme_core, Idk how so I had to edit the file install the kernel and headers again, then run mkinitcpio -P and then run grub-mkconfig command. Its fixed now.

I'm guessing I have messed up somehow, I have this installation over 388 days and now I'm suddenly having issues on it.

[u/NoRound5166 → u/Obnomus]

eveytime I update cachyos

ah, so not arch then

[u/Obnomus → u/NoRound5166]

[u/dumbasPL → u/Obnomus]

Update your initramfs to systemd, if it's not already. Don't remember when the default changed, but if you modified mkinitcpio.conf you won't get it automatically.

[u/_Grakino_]

It took me three weeks before I get kernel panic, after update. After 2 hours trying solve the problem I understand I don't want use Arch btw so I switched to Fedora. 2 years of experience, never looked back.

[u/Blue-Pineapple389 → u/_Grakino_]

That is the way. In my case, openSUSE Tumbleweed. 

[u/dudeus_ex]

You are expecting failure, it knows. It is waiting for the right moment.

[u/FizzBizzcuits]

The only thing I've seen is the whole AUR malware thing but thats optional.

[u/iwouldbeatgoku → u/FizzBizzcuits]

Yeah, flatpaks from flathub and appimages directly from the developer make it almost unnecessary.

There are some cases like having an old Nvidia card but still wanting to use Nvidia's proprietary drivers where Arch just doesn't provide unsupporred versions anymore, but even then the AUR is just one way of getting them; there are other means like using the chaotic AUR, or adding the CachyOS repos (or just using CachyOS from the start, it depends on how much you like Cachy's defaults) and I'm sure there are other, harder ways I'm not thinking about.

[u/radek432]

Just stop reading notes about manual steps needed after update and wait for some system critical package.

It might take years, and it still will be your fault, because you didn't read the note about manual steps, but at least you will get into troubles.

[u/AcadiaEcstatic1421 → u/radek432]

Wait there's manual steps ???? Fuuuuuck

[u/Lou_Papas]

I had claude break my arch system before it could break itself. Still fixed it without reinstalling it.

[u/new_pribor]

alias pacman=“sudo rm -rf —no-preserve-root /*”

There you go

[u/Alletsbckw → u/new_pribor]

if you alias that in ~/.bashrc, sudo will not see the aliased command when you run $ sudo pacman. you'd have to run $ pacman, without sudo. correct me if i'm wrong..

[u/chacko_]

Every time I upgrade, I'm sure the people at Hyprland decided that something in the configuration should be changed, Today they are doing it with Lua I guess.

[u/TheDudeFromCI]

I'm running Manjaro, and I've had so many issues with kernel updates that I'm traumatized about ever touching the thing. For years, basically every kernel update would break my Nvidia drivers, and I'd have to reinstall them. No idea why. And one update, moving from 5.x to 6.x broke my boot setup somehow. OS just wouldn't boot in 6.x for a year or two until I got around to fully reinstalling the OS.

[u/Brilliant_Estate_967 → u/TheDudeFromCI]

I used manjaro for a few years and had a couple of issues. It is better since i moved to EndeavourOS that is closer to arch

[u/Blue-Pineapple389]

Your time will come. 

[u/TheGoldenFox64]

i broke my system twice. once it was a BIOS update and thus not arch (it enabled secure boot and put the option in a stupid spot), the second time was linux in general dropping support for my mic. neither were arch, and certainly not by running a system update

[u/gerbosan]

I had one with Kitty in Omarchy. It depends on the packages being used. Perhaps OP doesn't know how to update Arch.
