"No way to prevent this" says only distro where this regularly happens

News from this year:

  • virtualbox-ext-vnc >= 7.2.12-2 requires manual intervention (package won't install)
  • Active AUR malicious packages incident (the AUR is locked)
  • Arch Linux 2026 Leader Election Results
  • Breaking changes for all users of varnish, which is renamed to vinyl-cache (it's a proxy, only affects servers)
  • kea >= 1:3.0.3-6 update requires manual intervention (dhcp server, affects routers)
  • iptables now defaults to the nft backend (affects pretty much nothing)

Repost.

Also, my Mint install broke, uh, shit I don't remember, 5 times? Arch broke zero times. Zero times not my own fault for forgetting I was installing something and shutting off the computer, of course. Except for the times I tried the fucking installer python script, but since I never even booted the install it doesn't count.

Mint broke for you? That's the first I've heard of it.

Also if you have a habit of shutting down the PC during updates, check out atomic/immutable distros. They are almost impossible to break. You can pull the power during an update and it'll be fine.

Mint breaks weirdly often but also it's inconsistent in my experience. It's a great example of it explodes for some people and others it's a god like entity of perfection. Never in-between. Lol
