How the fuck do you have a decade old arch installation? I have to reinstall it about every half a year because something breaks and its to complicated to fix it so I just choose to reinstall everything. In the 18 Months or so that I used Arch I had to reinstall it about 4 times. I don't even install that much stuff and I also don't go absolutely wild with configuration, but Theres A lot of stuff breaking in my system.
I also got used to just ignoring problems because I'm to lazy to reinstall everything or spend hours upon hours fixing my system.
Everyone on Lemmy: "Just use Arch! Why are you using anything but Arch! Arch is the best! Arch is better than everything else!"
Also Lemmy users: ∆
Me: So my Ubuntu Server, which has been the same install for well over 10 years, hasn't needed a reinstall ever... even through corrupted RAM, multiple hardware changes, and drive upgrades, I've just cloned it and kept on trucking...
...and yet everyone says Ubuntu is the worst...
Arch is great. I absolutely love it and the AUR. The only problem is, that it seems to produce a shit load of Errors for me.
Thanks for reminding me of my nearly forgotten Gentoo PTSD
You're welcome :)
