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?

    Plenty of people seriously propose it as such.

    It is not - at least if you’re not an enthusiast happy to tinker with your system all the time.

      Yup, it really is not. Those plenty of people are doing a big disservice to others with such proposing. I am sad to hear it
