That’s why God invented OpenSUSE Tumbleweed for all your stable rolling release needs.

Despite its popularity, I’ve never had much luck with Void. However, I could try it again. 17th time’s the charm!

As an Arch User who keeps hearing about OpenSUSE being a more stable rolling release…mind going into it a bit more? I’m happy on my system, mind, but idk, could be I’m missing out on something big for not making the jump. If nothing else, I’ll know my options

Yeah, either openSUSE or Gentoo will probably fix my issues good and proper.

I use Gentoo. Most of my fstab entries are by partuuid, which works for me.

To be frank I went away from Gentoo for much the same reason. And the constant compilation. I only used it once after that for a small project where I needed to minimise what actually lands in the OS.

But all that was years ago.

So it is btrfs snapshot time again and making it a bootable backup before pacman -Syu?

I have had only single time I remember when the Arch upgrade truly fucked up the system: libreadline.so was broken so bash didn’t work. :D

I always have a second bootable system in case the main system is unable to boot… So I can at least troubleshoot the main system.

I have multiple devices, but I just use my trusty KNOPPIX LiveCD to unlock the disk and move everything onto an external hard drive before either troubleshooting via chroot or just doing a clean install.
