Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    I Syu every other day and I literally cannot remember the last time I had to fix anything in my Arch setup (outside of initial setup)

    [–] refalo@programming.dev 3 points 5 months ago (3 children)

    almost every time I Syu something breaks.

    [–] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    I honestly can't imagine why that's happening, what's up with your setup?

    I might be wrong, but after thinking about this for a while I came to the conclusion that probably most of their packages come from AUR in God knows what conditions. Also, has a funny alias for pacman that breaks everything.

    Do you do that every two years?

    [–] refalo@programming.dev 5 points 5 months ago

    I would consider any amount of time passed causing breakage to be a design problem.

    Reason why I started doing btrfs snapshots before every update

    [–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    But you get updates frequently. You could have a system that you can setup automatic updates that happen infrequently

    [–] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 10 points 5 months ago

    Right. I update frequently and have no issues.
