Me looking from openSUSE Tumbleweed:
Just learn how to do everything in the TTY. GUIs are bloat
I already did, but wobbly windows is my love!
Somebody needs to make a wobbly terminal
I’m probably jumping to conclusions, but Nvidia?
Yes it is
I explicitly bought an AMD CPU and GPU and did not have any trouble with both of them ever since
What did you edited ? Arch user here, never had this kind of issue. Also if you managed to install Arch, you should be able to fix it(maybe you switched from terminals, try ctrl+alt+1-9)
You were just lucky. For some of us ut was just about having the wrong hardware at the wrong time.
Not complaining, I knew the risks going in and still love my distro, but arch updates totally can brick a PC with no PEBCAK involved. It does happen. :3
Arch dosn’t break by itself, i’ve used bunch of Arch installations and every time it broke it was because of bad manipulation, not pacman -syu
How did you installed it ? Official arch repo or self compiled ? And what nvidia drivers are you using ? Nouveau or proprietary one ?
@Titou proprietary drivers, dkms version.
Official repos.Both my friend and I experienced this, a few minutes later pahole was reverted to previous version on the repos and the update was delayed until fixes were made.
I migrated from nvidia to amd last summer and no issues since then ( a few crashes in Minecraft, its the only game capable of crashing the GPU, dont know why or how ).
Conflict issues is not arch-exclusive(happenned to me on debian sid months ago) but glad to heard you switched to amd
Nvidia Arch user here, are you just forgetting to rebuild your kernel modules after a kernel or nvidia driver update?
You can just add a pacman hook that triggers
mkinitcpio -P
after the linux or nvidia packages are updated. I’ve never had a no-GUI situation from a stray update… maybe one or two that were my own doing when trying to set up UKI’s though.The Arch Linux team releases Nvidia updates at the same time as kernel upgrades which should trigger a initramfs rebuild via mkinitcpio anyway
unless you do a partial upgrade anyway (never do that)
