    Fair, this is mainly the difference in package manager. Apt/dpkg do a lot of additional steps and handling to keep your system running as smoothly as possible. Stuff like reinstalling your bootloader when it updates or keeping old kernels available. Pacman is just much simpler and only installs packages. If you wanted to keep the old kernel or multiple versions of a program you have to build it yourself.

    That’s how the update process for the kernel works. The currently running kernel and active modules are kept in RAM, while all files on disk are replaced. These new files can’t be used by your old kernel meaning you can’t load new modules.








  • I don’t and I wouldn’t really recommend it. Chances are a lot of hardware won’t work and you’re also running outdated firmware on devices that do work.
    For example you won’t get CPU microcode updates fixing bugs/security issues and have to hope your motherboard manufacturer releases the updated version soon or at all.

    Not actually a girl, but a low poly version I made of a picture of a flame that kinda looks like a girl. Found years ago in Buildzoid’s Discord when I was in my PC overclocking phase.

    Here’s the version before low-polyfying it

    Edit: found higher quality version of the low poly edit
