Archlinux
From wikinotes
A minimalistic linux distro inspired by the BSDs.
Packages are released early with minimal changes from upstream.
It has a BSD-like ports system for building your own packages.
The painful parts of arch are mostly related to libraries:
- python updates take a while to reach all packages (so they get installed to the wrong site-packages)
- libva updates may be too new for makemkv etc
- qt updates are sometimes problematic as well
To mitigate this, I've been exposing old versions of the libraries to my package-repo
- ex. installing python-311 when python-3.12 became default
