    The fact that the Arch maintainers seem to prefer Reddit over their own fucking news channel is what made me switch from Arch years ago. I got sick of upstream breaking changes fucking my system because they wouldn’t notify people through official channels, only to find it later on /r/archlinux 🙄🙄🙄

      since the 2022 grub incident, Arch has done a great job at notifying the news channel when “manual intervention required” AFAIK, and I don’t remember any instances of Arch maintainers only notifying Reddit (and I don’t think they notified Reddit for the grub incident either lol).

      What are you using now?

      After the end of Win10 I moved to arch but I think my week end will be filled with moving again. ^^

        On my desktop, CachyOS 💀

        It was years ago when Arch pissed me off, but I couldn’t resist Arch-based distros forever. So far, I haven’t been burned.

        On my laptop, Asahi Linux, which is basically Fedora ARM with a custom kernel. I’d recommend Fedora to most general users.
