Upgrade Arch, on a whim. (lemmy.today)

Made this on a whim, while commenting on that other recent Arch related post... the tamagochi one.

It's been years since I actually used Arch. I hear much has changed (~ like it has an easy installer now?). Does it still itch to faceplant from time to time, needing rescue or abandon? Does Arch still faceplant itself?

How long have you managed to keep an arch going? How many times needing rescued back to being bootable in that duration?

[And would have posted this from that account, but that lemmy.wtf instance is tempramental, currently 504ing again. Glad I recently made this alt account so I can still post this and carry on with life.]

I upgraded yesterday and now I get games lock up on my PC.

No, I don't have an Nvidia GPU

EDIT: False information. The crashes are caused by my GPU overheating. A heat wave started in here roughly the same time I did a system update

    Do you get excessive RAM usage?

    I've had three hard system crashes because something spawned an endless amount of winedbg and conhost.exe processes until the memory is full and I can't figure out why.

    I don't think so, I have a daemon which kills processes when I'm running out of RAM and swap, but since I upgraded to 32 GB I never had it get triggered.

    I'd have to find some time to troubleshoot this, however I assume it's a recent system update I did which causes those lock ups
