edit: for anyone curious, the problem was Xorg wasnt loading or something (stuck on systemd 'graphical interface target reached' with no graphical interface). because of a typo in a config file.
Haven't needed to do either yet since I started using #EndeavourOS. I'm a bit surprised, given how many posts I've seen about people bricking their Arch installs.
People who use arch tend to wonder how other people manage to break arch so hard and often. At least that's been my experience since I started using arch.
Yeah I've been on it a solid 5-6 months and the only issue I had was on initial setup I forgot NetworkManager or lost it somehow. That was literally the only issue. Been less issues than Windows since.
I mean I've had no end of problems, generally created and fixed by me. But none of them have raised to the level of breaking my machine or operating system. I guess I did upset it by giving fstab bad info, but it's not like I managed to uninstall system packages or something.
