Yup.

Not approachable at all.

I have had two kernel regressions causing unbootable install. Though i still use Arch on my laptop. For the homelab I would go Debian.

I have a arch and debian server. I am afraid of the arch server. Debian I haven’t touched since install other than updatingbit once in a while.

You have experience of Debian use it, or maybe go down fedora, rocky for homelab. You would want to experiment on the homelab not with it.

I think it is more about rage control than about loving or hating oneself. Like stopping yourself from chucking the laptop halfway across the room when it doesn’t boot because you misspelled a variable in a config file.

I agree pms is a pain especially if it is delayed for more than a month.
