"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I have been running CachyOS for 3 months now.
I have never, not once, looked at those announcement links.
And I just click on the fancy icon in my taskbar that runs pacman -Syu for me.
I'll have to look at .pacnew, but again, I think you're making this way bigger of an issue than it really is, these are pretty simple things to do and learn compared to other Linux bullshit I've had to deal with in the past.
Also, talking about updates, I remember an update in October? for two of my Windows PCs at the time that bricked Windows Update. The solution? Reinstall windows. So I installed Cachy instead.
*Edit, and I just looked at sddm/plasma, the latest plasma updates auto disabled sddm for me and enabled plasmalogin. So, not sure why it was a suggested manual change?
I was explaining what's so "difficult" about running rolling release and best practice because I don't think it's all that difficult...๐ but nobody usually explains what people even mean by that. Unknown scary!!
If you want to ignore arch news...that's up to you I don't care. Long term things do go wrong now and then. Not that it's a big deal with snapshots.
