sudo !!

Yeah, I ran Arch for years and every time the wiki or someone in irc said, “Do it X way, not Y,” I always followed that instruction. Never had a single issue with system stability.

Guess that’s atypical? I learned a lot, these days I mostly use Ubuntu or Debian.

Tbh, trusting pacman with everything and keeping my AUR pkg sources preserved in a source folder is literally all it took to keep the system stable. Idk, is that a lot? It felt easy.

It’s not hard to do. What would be hard would be getting it through code review. Like the example provided… how would that ever get through code review for a merge? Must not be a well-protected code base?
