An update to GRUB completely killed my Artix install, and it's the second time in a year something like that necessitated a reinstall.
It's nowhere near as unstable as people make it out to be, but Arch will still fuck you if you're reckless.
Thank God for local backups.
Yeah you definitely wanna keep backups.
I used to run Arch as a daily driver for a few years and never had major issues that prevented boot but it is just pure luck with Arch.
Also helps to have a live USB to save any non-config files before reinstall, and to make sure existing ones are also backed up on a flash drive or portable SSD.
It's a blessing to be a zoomer that actually knows how to use a computer.
