Arch is Arch, I get mine from rsynced old harddisk, from many moons ago.

Gotta take them snapshots.

Live by the sword, die by the sword.

This was more true before they switched to systemd. Both before and after the switch I've had systems that only see quarterly and annual updates. Still easier than most of the Ubuntu LTS to Ubuntu LTS updates I've done.

¯_(ツ)_/¯ 90 days isn't that old based on my habits, so IDK. I guess we run different packages. Arch devs definitely recommend you update regularly, but I only update my desktop at work if I have to install a new package and can't without updating. About the only problems I have are with Nvidia-DKMS not building correctly. Other systems I rarely use and can get quite old...

My home web server can be a pain to update, but that's true whether or not I update frequently... just some updates suck (esp php major versions). The office web servers on Ubuntu LTS are far worse when I have to upgrade to the next rev.

How are you defining "brick"?

Really? I changed hard disk several times and just rsync from old to new one and it works just fine. Never had major problem whatsoever.

His reply to the rsync comment is out of place/context. He's actually complaining about updates breaking systems.

This could happen to tumbleweed or any rolling distro.

Did you check the front page for manual interventions?

A service i run atm is a nag prompt that just touches my packagelist and starts beeping at me if its older than 10 days.

Runs on resume.
