NVidia borks my installation sometimes. Then my stupidity to choose the non-dkms beta driver from the AUR. But all in all, my non-NVidia-devices (server, workstation and laptop) run fine on arch testing, updated every time I use one of those devices.
Kinda. One of the Linux “wrappers” (I’m a bit tired and can’t think of the correct term here, bear with me) that lets you utilize some Linux utilities on Windows, maybe it was mingw or cygwin, actually uses pacman as their package manager IIRC.
This is exciting! Can’t wait to kill my install by trying to upgrade!
I mean you don’t really use Arch if you don’t bork it once in a while. :)
That’s a very pleasant word for a horrible experience I keep doing to myself.

You can run pacman on Windows?
It’s called Ms. PacMan over there
Clever.
yes (msys2) except it will never bork your windows install unlike on arch.

msys2.
Yep that’s the one, thanks!
If anything, i would expect packagekit frontends to break. If you use pacman as intended, you’ll be just fine
