What's the state of your machine now?
Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, April 04 2013 @ 07:05 PM EDT
The state of the machine is that distro is still unupgraded simply because I
haven't got around to fixing it, as the machine is a quintuple boot (or
something to that effect) it isn't really urgent.

Your link is on the wrong (though related) issue, your update is changing /lib
from a directory to a sim link, in my issue it was a sim link in both packages,
it just changed packages (see
https://www.archlinux.org/news/update-filesystem-201301-1-and-glibc-217-2-togeth
er/ , I did the partial update referenced by updating at the exact wrong time or
something.)

Anyways, from your definition of user-friendly, you are more then correct that
arch is very user friendly. Personally though I view what you call user friendly
as good support/community. And user friendly to me means easy to use and hard to
accidentally break, this is clearly not arch's goal, but from my point of view,
that is because arch is trying to be customizable and all that not user
friendly. In arch's own words they try to remain user-centric, not user-friendly
(out of context slightly but not too badly).
