        I thought Lemmy was another excuse to never do research on my own. Please explain so I don’t have to leave Lemmy

          It’s usually recommended to read the Arch news before doing an update because if there are any known issues they will be reported there. However, I’ve been using Arch now for a few years and I’ve never encountered any issues during updates (I know that others have not been so lucky. There was an update that caused grub to break for many that I recall, but I wasn’t affected by it.)

            Ah lol totally missed what you meant. Yeah I used Arch since 2010, so I went through the big ones like switching to systemd, moving to /usr/bin, etc.

            Never had any issues that couldn’t be easily repaired from an archiso, and you learn from them every time!

            Also there are tools to warn you when updating after a news article has been posted, but I enjoy living on the edge.

              Oh, I wasn’t the person you were originally responding to. Just someone that came by later and had an answer to what I thought the question was you were asking.
