Story time.
I learned Debian-based distros back in high school from a college tech class. After leaving school and getting my first job, I built my first computer (after two DOA boards and much gnashing of teeth). I sat happily in my Windows bubble for a long time.
Years later I had a catastrophic failure when trying to get clever and unlocking my system32 folder to do some tinkering. I'd had enough of Windows. Thought Pop! OS looked really nice.
But we sometimes have that one friend. Arch. Every time I talked about my OS or showed him my clean setup, Arch. If I had a problem with packages. Pacman. AUR. Arch.
I was going nuts. Did he care I was running Pop! OS with KDE Plasma using Kubuntu backports to jury rig a later version? No. Arch.
After a long and grueling battle, after slogging through mountains of unsolicited Arch memes in my DMs, after vehemently defending Debian, I will only say this:
I use Arch, btw.
I use the glorious Hannah Montana OS, btw
You mean Miley/Hannah Montana Linux
I(t) came in like a wrecking ball (into my life)
Wait a bit more and you'll go back to Debian when you get tired of failing to boot after an update.
Source: personal experience
This is the answer.
Wait, you mean after a simple kernel update? Not a release upgrade obviously because arch uses a rolling release cycle?
No way to live.
Yup. There was that bad GRUB update as well.
You can usually just rollback, but it's annoying to weigh whether -Syu or -S is more likely to break your system.
I use Arch, btw.
Serious posting: I got tired of making backports for Debian and Ubuntu. I use Arch BTW.
Rolling distros are just great 😍 arch for nerds, endeavourOS for nerds without too much time and Tumbleweed for the latest and greatest but stable and OpenSuse slow roll for even more stability, I guess
