iptables now defaults to the nft backend (affects pretty much nothing)
Repost.
Also, my Mint install broke, uh, shit I don’t remember, 5 times? Arch broke zero times. Zero times not my own fault for forgetting I was installing something and shutting off the computer, of course. Except for the times I tried the fucking installer python script, but since I never even booted the install it doesn’t count.
I dont get the bad press arch got. I use arch (btw) and can’t remember last time it wont boot after an update.
It maybe happened to me twice in 20 years and at least once was my fault and the other was because i didn’t read the pacman post warning me
Once it happened to me because 6 years prior I’d made a change thinking ‘hah. That makes more sense’ and then things changed under me and I had to read journalctl in a tty. Low key enjoyed dealing with it. But here’s the thing: most ppl are dead at that point. No idea what to do. Arch is for nerds.
Mint broke for you? That’s the first I’ve heard of it.
Also if you have a habit of shutting down the PC during updates, check out atomic/immutable distros. They are almost impossible to break. You can pull the power during an update and it’ll be fine.

Iptables change actually fucked me because I’d tweaked something stupid 12 years ago and forgot. Took lime 45-60 mins to fix
