i SWear to fuckin god Holla Forums i'm posting this shit from a live usb
I ran arch for years, no problems, i fucking update, bam, no boot, everything gone. use at your own motherfucking peril. I'm about to install Xubuntu over this shit just to get it working again. Goddammit arch you have failed me. I don't have have 1000 hours to debug this shit i need it up, i had raid going, crypto etc, trying to recover this shit isn't going to happen
Thanks arch, you have failed me

i don't know what the fuck that is but tldr dont' install arch for anything you consider critical ever. you will be fucking burned one day, and then you will be fucked. I always thought, ah man i'll be fine, wrong. Fuck Arch. I have vm's for everything else. 1 update, after a week, burn. It's not like I tried to update after 2 or god forbid 6 months, 1 week, i update after 1 week and all is fucked, years arch, years, i used to be a fanboy, never a fuckinggain. Anything work critical and it's xubuntu, fuck i hate ubuntu, but jesus christ what, debian stable? 18 months out of date? i don't know anymore
Yep, that's Arch.
Don't be stupid and look at pacman.log. From what you've described grub probably failed to install or there was a new kernel which broke something. You can always just chroot and revert changes. Don't be a noob and reinstall OS when something breaks, that's what windows users do.
grub isn't the problem, i got past that fine, grub decrypted the drives, it boots the kernel, multiple modules fail, no wifi, no Ethernet, no usb, X11 fails, luckily nothing important was in there, but if there was it would have cost me 10 hours trying to get something else to recognize the encrypted raid, i got way to deep in unstable arch
the failure is mine. i should have had a plan for this, i did not. hey i want to stream audio to my android, fuck i guess i'll finally have to install pulseaudio to do it. I want to be safe, i've had minor problems before, i'll do a full system update before i just go and install pulseaudio, cool, it's done, reboot, nope fuck you
Thats what you get when you are using shit distro, Gentoo/Slackware are last good options in Linux world.
also pacman.log updated 300 packages, 1 kernel update does that. no log offered any useful information.
I did spend 2 hours on this before i even made the post.
If your running arch, maybe wait a few days. I hate making this post from Xubuntu but atleast it's somewhat stable.
I always thought arch instability was a meme, it's not. You will get burned one day.
lmfao
Gentoo was what I've been planning on upgrading too, but i've only fucked with it in VM's. I haven't even brought a desktop environment up in it yet. I like the idea of compiling from source, but I don't have 16 cores to do it. For a daily driver, where work shit is important, is it even viable? I imagine the gentoo package manager is just as susceptible to this type of thing once raid and crypto get involved, and then what, instead of getting fucked by arch after an update, you wait and compile for 16 hours and then get fucked? arch's thing is to be bleeding edge, i get that, i don't think there's any control between upstream and arch, how hard does gentoo test shit before it hits their repo's? with arch, it's the answer is zero.
