I realized my VLC was broke some point in the week after updating Arch. I spend time troubleshooting then find a forum post with replies from an Arch moderator saying they knew it would happen and it’s my fault for not wanting to read through pages of changelogs. Another mod post says they won’t announce that on the RSS feed either. I thought I was doing good by following the RSS but I guess that’s not enough.

I’ve been happily using Arch for 5 years but after reading those posts I’ve decided to look for a different distro. Does anyone have recommendations for the closest I can get to Arch but with a different attitude around updating?

    You just gave me words for something that was previously just vague internal grumbling and emotions.

    Manjaro knows how to aesthetically please me with their color choices and background art. I’ve got a negative impression from various podcasts and forum posts but I’m realizing I need to look into that more because I can’t recall specifics besides something about a past issue with package distribution.
