I realized my VLC was broke some point in the week after updating Arch. I spend time troubleshooting then find a forum post with replies from an Arch moderator saying they knew it would happen and it’s my fault for not wanting to read through pages of changelogs. Another mod post says they won’t announce that on the RSS feed either. I thought I was doing good by following the RSS but I guess that’s not enough.
I’ve been happily using Arch for 5 years but after reading those posts I’ve decided to look for a different distro. Does anyone have recommendations for the closest I can get to Arch but with a different attitude around updating?
Linus is about as far from a normal user as you can get and using him as a measuring stick if anything should be indication of the worse option for normal users…
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ In this case, my personal experience and the dozens of other people who have agreed with me beg to differ.
