# pacman -Syu

Aaand stability of my Arch is gone. God bless bleeding edge!

Story of my arch loving friend's life!

Hahaha what hapenned exactly?

This is why I dropped arch for good, the only good thing they made is their wiki

I had no issues with -Syu yet. Although, I installed Arch only month ago

This is DEFINITELY NOT TRUE. So long as you don't do partial upgrades your Arch system is GUARANTEED to be stable. `pacman -Syu` does a full upgrade so you'll always have a stable system after running the command! Fuck!

@OrestH you won't have any issue so long as you keep using -Syu but if you do a partial upgrade however, you'll find your system in an unexpected state.

How can you do a partial upgrade? Run `pacman -Syu` and right after it has synced the package repositories stop it with CTRL + X. Now install any package that depends on other core packages e.g. bash (i.e. `pacman -S bash`). There, you have yourself a broken arch install.

But if you stick with -Syu you're good.

Haven't lost stability for more than a year now

Arch user for one and a half years now. Runs stable as on the first day :)

For me it was more easy to get Ubuntu and Fedora in an unstable state than Arch...

Major version of PostgreSql corrupted a database in a Ticket system...

@toXel I agree

@bb6xt There is problem with latest CUDA driver and multi-GPU configuration. Problem solved by disabling 2 of 3 cards via UEFI, downgrade driver then enable others GPUs. Probably it is global problem, not only on Arch Linux.

But I'm still in love with this distro 😍

The only problem I had was with nvidia driver, needed to install mesa instead
Now I dunno if my nvidia video adapter works on full power with mesa driver
