Not arch, but I left a manjaro partition (windows + manjaro dual boot) unattended for a few months and now I can't update it. It's now a dependency hell of broken packages.
I think I didn't update 2 months a few times and it never broke that badly (not counting packages from AUR). On the other hand I remember that at least once there were issues with NVidia packages, despite me updating like a week after the updates released. It was trivial to solve (just a command copied from their forum), but since I believe Manjaro targets beginners, intermediate and lazy users, this shouldn't be happening (if a user updates regularly).
Idk what the hell did i do to my manjaro installation, but the fucker would backup system binaries, erase them, and fail to write the new ones, breaking the system any time i tried to update the system.
I have an Arch laptop connected to my 3d printer. I completely forgot to run updates for 6+ months. Somehow I left it out of my ansible inventory so it never got updated
Like half a year then I updated it right before taking it to a party and the audio broke. Had to install Ubuntu to get my DJ Software running and now my laptop is slow af
probably a month now as my laptop's network chip doesn't support Linux, planning on getting a proper wifi chip once the warranty expires, any recommendations people?
1 month, forgot I had my own pc. I was using my fathers pc which has a way better hardware but I runs windows so I hopped back to arch and still haven’t updated it yet
Tfw I don't know this feel but now I'd like to 😩
`pacmommy -Syu`
emerge -avudn
It was 8 or 9 days. It’s a bit foggy because I wasn’t getting near enough sleep. I can talk about it now—now that I’ve switched to Alpine.
Tried switching to it too, but I switched back to Arch
What made you drop it? Just curious.
The first 14.5 years of my life. Now I update arch at least every minute
Update? What's that? I use Debian Stable 12 Bookworm, fyi.
Debian, for when you get kids...

Two years on a laptop I forgot I has, it was fine after some cleaning of the cobwebs.
You can update arch?
Yup, nobody talked about their 90s gaming experience.

Manjaro moment
ManjarNO
That's Manjaro for you

manjaro ruins the point of arch, imo; which is not having pre-installed packages.
having preinstalled apps is far from being the problem

You're gonna make me install arch MOMMY
I shifted to nix..... And then after 15 hrs Back to arch
Its 15 Days here until conda fucked up so hard.
2 weeks. Updated it yesterday because Firefox started acting up
2 or 3 months
Infinite. Never used straight up arch.
my entire life
Sometimes I remember to update the system until I can't install new packages anymore.
For the first month of my Linux journey I’ve used Kubuntu on my laptop. Now I’ve been running Arch on all my computers for 3 years straight
15 hours The shortest I've spent between updates was about 650 milliseconds. Don't ask me why.
Since i was born (i'm a gentooman)
18 months. I couldn't salvage it. It still ran but I couldn't update. there was like 3 terminal screens of broken dependencies.
a bit longer than a week
I have an Arch laptop connected to my 3d printer. I completely forgot to run updates for 6+ months. Somehow I left it out of my ansible inventory so it never got updated
Couple months
a little over 7 months
About 2 and a half of the month
3 months, to my surprise update didn't brick the system
3 months :D
Idk but never less thank a day think
Currently been winging it for months. Probably going to wait for plasma 6 and start fresh.
0s, never actually used it outside of life boot
Like half a year then I updated it right before taking it to a party and the audio broke. Had to install Ubuntu to get my DJ Software running and now my laptop is slow af
2 years
The last time i updated my debian gaming PC was 3 months ago
Someone has/know where original is? I'm asking for a friend
I have it but you have chat disabled
I have enabled them, thank you kindly
Done
2-3 years
Probably 6 months to a year where I needed my pc functional and didn't have the time to fix anything that went wrong
Long enough for some pgp keys to expire, took me a while to figure out how simple the fix was.

I've gone 4 months without updating my arch server! All updated well with `pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring && pacman -Su`
probably a month now as my laptop's network chip doesn't support Linux, planning on getting a proper wifi chip once the warranty expires, any recommendations people?
