    Once I went travelling and left my arch(btw) desktop computer unplugged for just over a full month.

    When I came back there were 1 235 packages needing updating, between repo and AUR.

    … It worked fine tho. That install didn’t really go to shit until about a month ago, when months of sloppy system management on my end finally caught up to me and left me with a lot of mysterious issues. So I cut my losses and ditched it.

    I’m using OpenSUSE Tumbleweed now (btw).

    I have a laptop running Linux Mint I only use for hosting bar trivia. I only need it to run like 4 applications but I need them to run flawlessly. The last time I updated it jacked up my soundboard, which I didn’t notice until I was in front of a crowd and it played the wrong sound effects. Never again.
