Just don't turn it off after you've ran `pacman -Syu`, it will never boot again ;)



I know you're just teasing, but I've got a machine with an arch install from over two years ago that's still running great. Just did an -Syyu to get bash updated.


The trick is to keep up with the updates, do pacman -Syu every two weeks or so, and not wait months.


After it happened 5 times in a row, I finally just aliased pacman -Syu to "breakX".
