I'd have 2 snacks, over 10 years....
:( and that was my fault both times because I didn't read the announcement of required actions before I ran the update

genuinely what's up with all those arch update memes? arch user of 5 years with no reinstalls, it "broke" on me exactly once lately when Lua switched versions and borked AwesomeWM. the fix was looking at the output to understand the problem and running "pacman -S lua54" or whatever version. like, that's it
I've literally had more problems with Ubuntu and Rocky upgrades (tho as with most things Linux, its mostly user fault with custom repositories and all but that's a moot point because I use AUR on Arch too and that's been fine)
Arch is a do it yourself distro, which includes some maintenance - all of which is explained in the wiki during the installation process and mostly comes down to checking the news for required manual actions and looking through pacdiffs. if you skipped that part of required reading, arch might just not be for you and yea it's Gonna break

Arch skill is stored in the belly.
I'd starve this way
I can only think of 3 cases in as many years lol.
- KDE patch at beginning of the week made it so scrolling the start menu crashed the desktop, fixed in ~3 days
- LY changed the service to call it so I got booted into the TTY next time I started my PC
- There was a wifi card update which stopped my wifi from working, fixed with a power cycle.
Don't know where arch got its reputation of being held together by hopes and prayers, maybe it was more unstable in the past?
it doesnt break, go get a meal
Omg, body shaming! The horrors.... Someone made a joke about a body!
If this was a woman in the picture, it would be very upsetting wouldnt it? Thank god its a man.
