Define 'Break'... /j
Unable to boot after the update. That’s happened to me multiple times with pacman, so I eventually switched to Fedora.
Jokes on you, this happened to me on fedora with an nvidia gpu.
@hperrin@lemmy.ca Interesting, how?
On artix I update system and nothing breake my system.
No idea. I updated it, and then it wouldn’t boot. So, I reinstalled.
For me it was that it said "forcing this upgrade may break your system, do you want to force the upgrade?"
And I was like "yeah, fuck it", then installed mint after my system didn't come back up (it was time for my annual re-install anyway)
This is a recent example of a problem that required manual intervention or the system would not boot after updates. This happens every now and then on arch, it's why you should check arch news before updating.
