Arch moment

(no I will never forget that one time they borked the grub package and there was no notification of it in the newsfeed)

shadowintheday2,

I switched to systemd boot when that happened, and it’s been so smooth ever since

mexicancartel,

Untill there’s a bug in systemd-boot on arch…

shadowintheday2,

It’s not exempt from happening; however, it rarely ever updates and has less complexity/functionality than grub, which makes it less prone to error happening (be it from the developers, or from the user like me trying to theme it :))

Whenever i need to use windows, i leave it on a separate drive, and then just point a rEFInd entry to it. It really frustrates me, that Windows just expects full advocacy over your hardware, and performs changes like this without any warning

I dualboot with separate efi partitions. Does it happen that windows fucks up anothr efi partition?

I thought it had been abandoned since 2003, but not at all!
It’s been abandoned since 2013.

@slacktoid@lemmy.ml avatar

Ah so its only been 10 years. Perfect. Probably why nothings broken?

@AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world avatar

A lot of things may have changed in ten years though. It’s good that nothing broke, but it’s not very reassuring.

@slacktoid@lemmy.ml avatar

No its not ideal.

Seems familiar. Did you by any chance also not update the copy of grub in your EFI system partition since you installed it? Then you need to do that and afterwards everything works fine again.

While you are at it add a netboot.xyz EFI entry to fix that kind of stuff without a USB stick or your own network boot server.

I laughed about the meme.

But It’s the opposite of my experience tbh. I had way more trouble before I finally switched to arch.

Give NixOS a try. Imagine never even having the risk of a broken system ever again. Never getting stuck in the TTY because some update bricked to your shit. It’s a nice life on Nix.

EuroNutellaMan,

Idk, I like NixOS but it’s not problem-free and the worst part about it is that for some problems you won’t have much luck finding help in many places and on top of that the documentation isn’t the greatest. That said I have found less very serious issues, but also because I haven’t messed with it as much as Arch.

femboy_bird,

I don’t like the nix package manager it updates too slowly, and though a config file for everything is a neat idea, i found that it was kind of clunky for use on a desktop, so i’m back on void (which tbf has way less packages than arch or nix but xbps has everything i personally need)

Deckweiss, (edited )

Are you willing to take a list of my requirements and giving me a functional set of nix / homemanager / flake files that fullfill those requirements? (It’s a long and very particular list) I’ll even pay you 150$ if you can manage to fulfill 100% of the must haves and over 80% of the want haves.

Because last time I tried it took over a week, was buggy (thus compromising about a quarter of the must have requirements) and provided no visible benefit over my current archlinux with a set of custom packages for dotfiles, config backups and bootable btrfs snapshots from my personal experience.

BRBWaffles,
@BRBWaffles@lemmy.world avatar

I would be willing to do this, yes.

The case is bloat, a real Arch user wouldn’t need it
