It can happen to anyone, on any system. Don't take it too personal or harshly. Just restore from a snapshot or backup and wait till they fix it for you.

just did. nothbrokeing . :)

>>106176364
How do I fix it? Boot live and chroot?

>>106176342 (OP)
Peak skill issue.

>>106176342 (OP)
That happens what? Once in two years? I don't remember the last time such a thing happened to me.

>>106176410
That sounds about right. Do you know what broke? Look into how you would undo upgrades.

debian never gave me this issue

>>106176675
Yeah... right. Because major upgrades or those major upgrades never caused a problem whatsoever. Not once.

What actually happened OP?
>>106176486
Once in two years would be too often for people to tolerate. It doesn't happen that much. This is assuming we're talking about a serious breakage rather than just some manual intervention required.

>>106176772
In contrast, I have had this happen on Windows, *BSD, and about 30 different ditributions of GNU+Linux in the last 30 years. ;3

Billion dollar company folks, billion dollar company

>>106176809
If you meant serious breakage that happened to me zero times with arch linux. I'm not exaggerating. What I meant by maybe one time in two years was manual intervention required.

>>106176772
Btw I fucked it was supposed to be major upgrades and wizard like configurations. Those break all the time in Debian based distributions.

When microshit finally disables or force corrupts my Win10 in a decade or so, I will finally boot Arch that has been installed and nearly untouched for 2 years now, and pretty sure it's going to Syu just fine.

>>106176342 (OP)
Should've used NixOS where you can just go back to the older version no issue

>>106180184
That's true. NixOS needs to be less woke and better documented though.

if you run into the latest linux-firmware meta package split up, all you have to do is pacman -R linux-firmware then reinstall it with -S

>>106176342 (OP)
That's why you don't do blind updates.
If you want to blind update, use a point release instead of rolling.

Did they fix the latest fuck up yet?

>>106181443
I only use Void because my X31 is 32 bit and Arch is only 64 bit.

is this an adult woman

>>106181499
she's all grown up, anon.

>>106177292
Nor I. "Arch breaks" is a badly outdated meme, if it was ever true beyond people who don't know how to use it shooting themselves in the foot.
