OK, riddle me this, #Linux (specifically #ArchLinux) fans.
You can use #ZFS and #btrfs on root to create snapshots before updating the OS. But you can't snapshot EFI, because that's on a separate FAT32 partition.
So what happens if you run an update (pacman -Syu
in this case) that includes a kernel update, and something goes wrong? The version of the kernel in the EFI partition will be newer than the modules in the snapshotted /usr/lib/modules
. That's surely going to cause an issue, right?
From memory (it's been over 15 years), Gentoo can have multiple versions of the same kernel installed at once. But Arch only allows one version of any package at one time.
The maintainer of XeroLinux (an Arch-based distro) is stuck in a country without many options, and he is asking for your help. He can barely upload ISOs.

Any one using #AUR on #Arch? There have been packages infected with a trojan, packages are:
- librewolf-fix-bin
- firefox-patch-bin
- zen-browser-patched-bin
More info here: https://lists.archlinux.org/archives/list/aur-general@lists.archlinux.org/thread/7EZTJXLIAQLARQNTMEW2HBWZYE626IFJ/
[aur-general] - [SECURITY] firefox-patch-bin, librewolf-fix-bin and zen-browser-patched-bin AUR packages contained malware
What I have also come to appreciate about my lean Debian stable is that there are no updates every day (or even several times a day) that require a reboot. As is the case with Fedora or Arch. I also find this very pleasant because it doesn't constantly interrupt my work. Yes, comfort comes with age.
I am tired reading these posts online...

Why did my Arch update just eat 30 GB?
Here's what happened.
@nixCraft The issue here with #Windows11 is that you download a 5 GB ISO to install it and need a Internet connection. The #Archlinux ISO is just 700MB.
Oh wait it's 1.3 GB now...
