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?
I recently switched to Void after making runs with Arch and Fedora.
I’m not anti-systemd. I just like Void. Rolling release model. Light weight. Minimalistic. I’ve read how the package manager is small but for me everything I need is there. That’s the first time that’s happened for me as with other distros I would have had to install via flatpak, snap by source, appimage and by the package manager.
Not sure if that would work for your use case or not.
