The thing isβ¦ archβ¦. You can actually fix. Most times.
Unlike the proverbial him.
(Not that you should have to.)
(yeah, you dont have to fix anyone. just reinstall them)
How do you reinstall a human?
Who is NixOS for?
People who have a favourite pencil.
Wow way to make assumptions huh
It's a fountain pen
Pentel Graphgear 1000 is my favorite mechanical pencil, and my favorite Linux distro is NixOS... hm
Serial killers
"Linux is my personality."
People who are into BDSM
People who have more than one computer

I keep hearing this argument but I've either been very lucky or something else.
I've been using arch or arch based distros for 15 years on my main machine and never had a system crash or issue.
Sadly itβs probably nearly impossible to get representative data but I am strongly suspecting the majority of cases of things βrandomlyβ breaking are either because of rando stuff installed from the AUR, or messing with things without understanding the implications of doing so.
It's the other way around, arch can fix me
i use mint btw
Arch broke me... But now i cant change the distro... ^^
Linus is in the right. Arch developers are frequently in the wrong.
The "don't break userspace" is a kernel rule. It's ok to break userspace within (like on library upgrades). The equivalent for Linux would be breaking kernel space, which they do... very often. It's the reason DKMS exists and why Nvidia can be such a hassle
