    News from this year:

    • virtualbox-ext-vnc >= 7.2.12-2 requires manual intervention (package won’t install)
    • Active AUR malicious packages incident (the AUR is locked)
    • Arch Linux 2026 Leader Election Results
    • Breaking changes for all users of varnish, which is renamed to vinyl-cache (it’s a proxy, only affects servers)
    • kea >= 1:3.0.3-6 update requires manual intervention (dhcp server, affects routers)
    • iptables now defaults to the nft backend (affects pretty much nothing)

    Repost.

    Also, my Mint install broke, uh, shit I don’t remember, 5 times? Arch broke zero times. Zero times not my own fault for forgetting I was installing something and shutting off the computer, of course. Except for the times I tried the fucking installer python script, but since I never even booted the install it doesn’t count.

      Mint broke for you? That’s the first I’ve heard of it.

      Also if you have a habit of shutting down the PC during updates, check out atomic/immutable distros. They are almost impossible to break. You can pull the power during an update and it’ll be fine.
