Don't forget the AUR. It's so much easier to use yay than it is to go to GitHub to manually check for updates/download/install a deb or rpm file.

AUR is reposnsible for the vast majority of -Syu into softbricks, and is little better than downloading random binaries (because you literally are most of the time)

That's what timeshift and btrfs is for! Really though it takes like ten seconds to roll back and each snapshot only takes like 40mb. There's a pacman hook to take a snapshot before updating.

AUR is just incredibly convenient for me. I don't have to think about it, I don't have to track anything down.

@TeddyKila @ayaya … and then people rant about ”Arch isn’t tested at all and just randomly breaks”
