Nah, just update it.
Read the Arch news before clicking “yes”.
is that Debian Testing or Sid or stable?
Looks like a !!FUN!! time in Dwarf Fortress.
people laughed at me for choosing debian. they asked why i chose to have ancient runes running in my computer
who’s laughing now?
I’m sorry, I gotta - you have the menu on AND the button bar? like, why? you click on those things? you got your screen real-estate on a sale, what?
I hope you auditted all of these for backdoors before installing them
welp, looks like you don’t use python virtualenvs… well i guess jokes on you all your shit is probably broken now (and as a bonus, that’s probably a big part of the donwload size as well) :p
Sometimes I wish someone would make a an Arch box and come back to it years later to see the updates it has missed.
But that’s assuming an Arch box would be reliable enough to stay alive that long lol.
Always heard of 20+ year old bsd and debian machines chugging along with no issue.
To be fair, arch could look like that after a few days.
Sheiiiiit, i had same thing, broke completely after update
Remembers Tumbleweed fondly
I have an Arch laptop that I didn’t update for 3.5 years. The system update took a while when I finally went through with it. Amazingly it didn’t break anything!
Yes, I am amazed that quite a few people in this thread are saying they ‘had to completely reinstall the os’ and that it broke everything after not much time. As long as one doesn’t rely on the AUR for system critical packages or much in generel, it is incredibly hard to break an Arch system (Manjaro and other Arch-based distros don’t count). This is due in part to Arch being quite reproducible but it also having very good maintainership.
It doesn’t hurt to apply new package configs by going throughpacdiffonce in a while though.Edit: Typo
I ran a base-Arch with i3 before, I got tired of restoring backups and fixing things and went back to Debian. It broke too quickly by its defaults in my experience.
