No big difference between those two methods of install. You get the real medal when a random upgrade breaks some software and you are able to track down the issue and corresponding solution(s).

I’m a big proponent of using tools you already know how to use, so long as you aren’t making things needlessly harder for yourself by doing so

I don’t know the current state of Debian installation. But not too long ago, installing Arch Linux felt much easier lmao

python version bump always broke a handful of aur packages for at least a couple days for me. In general tho, all my problems were related to aur packages not getting updated at the same rate as official repos.

switched to nixos and avoided that entire class of problems

4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can’t quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
