My solution is to host a virtual machine with my dev workstation, and use Windows or Mac for business admin stuff like email, slack, etc.

Are you sure there's a conspiracy here, and not just a bunch of folks laughing at and copying a popular meme format?
Because its funny, I like Taylor a lot, no one is totally guiltless. This isn't about making people accountable, its about making people laugh.
Got a link? That sounds extremely interesting!
Oh my god, you get it. Thank you for your continued existence. Keep going!
Regex is fast and useful though. It's a tool in your toolbox that make certain situations extremely easy as the comic depicts.
Ah gotcha. Glad I could clarify. For reference, its easy to look up RFCs by just visiting the IEEE website: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1149
It's not. RFC 1149 is an April fools day joke about the protocol "IP Over Avian Carriers" and RFC 1149.5 doesn't exist. He's making a joke here.
Ah yes, I know the feeling well. I know it sounds crass, but I see this as one of the features of Arch.
Solving this will teach you things about your computer, and computers at large, that you'd otherwise never encounter.
If your box breaks due to updates often, one of two things is wrong:
Let me tell you what I mean by that:
dmesg
orjournalctl
to search for problemsI wouldn't be half the sysadmin I am today if I hadn't spent literal weeks fixing things I broke by upgrading, changing something and rebooting, or similar practice.
The next level is finding the commits to the FOSS responsible for your problem, and pushing the fix yourself.
That being said, there have been several occasions when Arch will post an update on their homepage titled "Manual intervention required". Following the contained advice, if you're affected by the issue, will usually be the easiest path forward.
I know you came here looking for answers, I'm sorry, I don't have them for you. What I do have is encouragement, and the wisdom of someone who's gone through the same gauntlet you're going through now. Stick with it. You will succeed if you try hard enough, and it is worth it in the end.
