He has switched to Linux Mint instead
Thanks for the TL;DW, I can go about my Arch updates without fear now…
I mean, good for him I guess? Comparing Mint to Arch is about as pointless as comparing Mint to headless Debian.
Why
An update black screened his system and corrupted his time shift backups. So he gave Linux Mint a shot and has been using it for several weeks.
Could very well happen on Mint as well. Should switch to atomic, if that’s his main concern.
Mint is a good choice because it has an easy timeshift option, so a problem in an update is just a rollback/recover. Same as Snapper Rollback on distros like OpenSUSE, it means a non savvy Linux user can reboot and have it fixed. That is appealing for a lot of users that don’t want to bother with finding the fix
Does ubuntu have this? Or does one need to install something to set this up
The dumbest possible choice, IMTO
nothing wrong with Mint, but it isnt some magical distro, and I’m so sick of hearing about it that my ears pretty much [bleed]
every single “What distro should I try?” thread: “Mint” “I recommend Mint” "Why use x when you could use Mint?" “MINT!”… /rantIt is not that it is the best distro, its that it is the easier onboarding experience for a windows user

edit and alas: I have seen the error of my ways, and as such, will, from this day forth, worship at the linux of mint
and ye though there are other worthy transitional distros, I shall not see them, for the votes have taught me so. and the people said mintYield good sir, doth thou decide in haste? Hath thou not the good word of ZorinOS upon thine ear?
lol
It’s a gateway to SNAP, which is why it’s bad.
??? Snap support is completely removed in mint by default.
…until people who don’t know better start googlin’

Can we please just ban distro war ragebait?
It’s 2025 and I’m sick and tired of it. You can feel cool for using a specific distro for all I care, you are embarrassing yourself at worst. You are toxic for shitting on other distros or creating an adversarial narrative tho
Y’all are tripping, dude barely badmouthed arch at all
Maybe shouldn’t have used a clickbait title then?
Just shows how many people didn’t actually watch the video ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ that’s on them not me
I watch a lot of his videos. But I didn’t watch this one because I loathe and resent clickbait titles. I would imagine a fair number of people chose not to watch and down voted because of the clickbait title alone.
How would you title video where you talk about reasons why you’ve stopped using Arch?
"This goes against my distro choice and I need validation to feel superior! "
Reading the comments, it’s obvious they either didn’t watch the video and those that did, missed the point of what he was saying and got butthurt instead… Internet comments on a nutshell

Is this how the cancelculture tries to enter the Linux world? I use arch btw.
Please, sir, do the needful
Dude straight up says “SteamOS doesn’t work on everything” and in almost the same sentence says “Bazzite is cool”. This guy does not understand puters AT ALL 🤣
Also, the rant about the terminal while complaining about Arch about made me laugh so hard I’d sploosh.
Using a tool for a job you don’t understand will yield unexpected results, fool. 😘
What’s wrong about that statement? Try installing SteamOS on Nvidia hardware and tell me how it went ;) why do you think Bazzite exists in the first place? SteamOS in it’s current state is not meant to be installed on other hardware, it’s a recovery image for the deck. Sure, if you have compatible AMD hardware you COULD do it, but you can’t even choose which drive to install it on cause there is no proper installer. If you want the SteamOS experience on other devices just use Bazzite.
