    The real “scorched earth” strategy:

    1. Format system drive
    2. Reinstall Arch
    3. Keep all your files on the data drive
    4. Run your personal setup script to put everything back how you like it
    5. (Optional) Be happy

    Edit: forgor 6. Tell everyone you use Arch

      1. Install Debian
      2. Experience stability.
      3. No, really. It’s very stable.
      4. Spend years growing old with the same packages.
      5. Accept your fate.

        1. Attempt to upgrade to Debian unstable
        2. It still works fine (probably)

      If you’re at the level of having a personal setup script, you should be able to solve just about any problem on Arch without reinstalling.

      Source: Been doing it for 10 years now, not a single reinstall.

      repeatedly, and put it in your bio “I use Arch, btw!”
