    zypper is unironically the best package manager. Absolute s-tier god-mode. It’s slow as hell, but that’s because it makes atomic updates. If the install doesn’t go well, it just rolls it back. I fucking love zypper, and I want to shake the hands of the people responsible for it.

    You would think that, but it happened to me several times over the course of about five years, with different parts of the core of the os. Granted, this was back when arch was in its infancy, before systemd was even a thing, so pacman may be smarter now. But I’ve completely written it off since it happened so many times. And reinstalling arch back them took the better part of a weekend, so it’s not like it was an easy fix.

    Pacman sucks ass and this is a hill I will die on. Sure, it’s fast, but there’s such a thing as too fast. Like when I was updating the system once and it decided to delete bash to replace it, but it couldn’t replace it because bash was gone already and my shell died since that’s what I was logging in with. Oops! System is completely unusable now, got to reinstall arch again, because pacman pulls stunts like this.
