okay guys i take everything back i love arch linux

@lain FF 2 months from now when something breaks because you didn't update frequently enough.

@phnt @lain what's a good "almost never update" distro that steam runs on (i already have a "never update" distro

@hakui @lain I think you want two incompatible things. Play games and almost never update.

@phnt @lain well yeah the game partition will be getting updates begrudgingly, i just don't want to Always Update like arch

@hakui @lain In reality you don't need to update Arch that often. Once a month is probably enough. But the distro you want doesn't really exist. Closest to that would be Fedora, but that has its own weird brain worms.

@phnt @lain @hakui barely update arch twice a year and it works just fine, helps to have an install that's been stable for a decade and only breaks when upstream does it deliberately, which is inescapable

@i @phnt @lain @hakui yeah that's pretty much my experience with arch. Works fine so long as you remember to not update packages individually.

@VD15 @i @lain @hakui Most of the "Arch broke" moments are usually thanks to an outdated keyring that cannot verify signatures of new packages. That's an easy fix.
