- agumonkey 11y agoI do have a rescue USB like you. We should write something for arch to get rollbackable system. ps: while googling for it, I discovered https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Rollback_Machine https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Rollback_Machine
- anonbanker 11y agoI was great with Arch on USB, until I started trying to boot to a full UI from the image, and I'd start getting I/O errors from the ramdisk halfway through a 'pacman -Sy plasma-meta' (last three iso releases). That was a dealbreaker for me. I switched to KaOS (because they used pacman), but their install image fails to install before creating users and installing grub, so I'm back to a Gentoo LiveUSB, which doesn't fail. Every time I leave gentoo, I'm eventually forced back. maybe Nix will be better.
