      I heard this so many times that I really believed arch was so brittle that my system would become unbootable if I went on vacation. Turns out updating it after 6 months went perfectly fine.

        I updated arch after two months and it broke completely, i guess it’s because i had unfathomable amount of packages and dependencies, so it varies from person to person, if you keep your system light then it may work like it worked for you, if you install giant amount of packages and dependencies then it would work like it worked for me

        But didn’t it take a while? Not that it wouldn’t take a while on Debian but Debian doesn’t push so many updates

          It took a bit more than usual but nothing unreasonable. 3 to 5 minutes at most, in an old MacBook pro.
