  • I get surprised every time I see this meme as I’ve been running arch for about 6 years and I have never experienced anything system-breaking after an update. I once had no graphics because Nvidia had stopped supporting the GTX650, and updating the driver made it stop working. But I have seriously never had any problems updating.

    …Mind you, I do use CSM and GPT-BIOS (GRUB) because I am stubborn like that.


  • Funnily enough, when I upgraded from a SATA SSD to an NVME, I didn’t have to reinstall anything. Instead I just moved the LVM LVs to the NVME and rewrote the boot config. Just booted up from the existing installation without having to install anything.
    Of course, tune2fs reports the right age for the filesystem:

    # tune2fs -l /dev/mapper/VolGroupSSD-ssdvol | grep created
    Filesystem created:       Thu Jun 16 10:33:49 2022 << This used to be the root fs, inside the SATA SSD
    # tune2fs -l /dev/mapper/VolGroupSAT-satvol | grep created
    Filesystem created:       Mon Nov 14 14:13:49 2022 << When I bought the NVME and created a new VG just for the SATA drive
