      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)

      Repost.

      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.

        this year

        And one post earlier (2025-12-20) that the image likely could be about:

        NVIDIA 590 driver drops Pascal and lower support

        Install nvidia-580xx-dkms from the AUR

        Impact: Updating the NVIDIA packages [without manually changing to AUR packages] on systems with Pascal, Maxwell, or older cards will fail to load the driver, which may result in a broken graphical environment.
