News from this year:

• virtualbox-ext-vnc >= 7.2.12-2 requires manual intervention (package won’t install)
• Active AUR malicious packages incident (the AUR is locked)
• Arch Linux 2026 Leader Election Results
• Breaking changes for all users of varnish, which is renamed to vinyl-cache (it’s a proxy, only affects servers)
• kea >= 1:3.0.3-6 update requires manual intervention (dhcp server, affects routers)
• iptables now defaults to the nft backend (affects pretty much nothing)

Also, my Mint install broke, uh, shit I don’t remember, 5 times? Arch broke zero times. Zero times not my own fault for forgetting I was installing something and shutting off the computer, of course. Except for the times I tried the fucking installer python script, but since I never even booted the install it doesn’t count.
