make it executable chmod +x bedrock-linux-0.7.31-x86_64.sh
run it ./bedrock-linux-0.7.31-x86_64.sh
run it again remembering the need to add --hijack
run it again remembering the need to run it as root. (... I know, I could just remember to do sudo and --hijack first time, but I like this silly ritual).
and type in the "Not reversible!", knowing how non-trivial a change to my operating system is about to happen in an instant.
reboot
enjoy seeing the new init select screen after the grub screen (albeit with only one option yet)
once back at a tty or once back in gui with a terminal emulator (... maybe after some more configuration tweaks, e.g. in /bedrock/etc/bedrock.conf), brl fetch arch
et viola, done. can do sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade ; sudo pacman -Syu.
... And more likely I'd do brl fetch void ; brl fetch gentoo ; brl fetch -r ceres -n ceres devuan ; brl fetch artix. But ^ that's for if "I want to switch to arch but dont want to troubleshoot my pc after each update."
Could also do frequent brl copy arch arch-fallback-(date) or some such, so then if something goes wrong with an upgrade, you could just carry on unperturbed, or even disable the stratum that had something go wrong, or even delete it, and brl rename arch-fallback-20260806 arch, and carry on with your day, sure it'll resolve the upgrade properly next time tomorrow. ;)
But of course, this is a bit overkill, like starting a huge complex science and production logistics project just to crack a nut.
But it is my honest answer of how I deal with that. ;)
At least Ubuntu are kind enough to offer a faceplant every 6 months like clockwork, to help get accustomed to it. ;3
As much as I have a side fetish for the likes of CRUX, KISS/Carbs [and suckless'ness, like sta.li, etc], out beyond my love of the likes of VoidLinux, Arch/Artix/etc, for their hands-on simplicity that keeps one in reach of manually installing software and building packages, but I really love gentoo's accoutrements for "building packages with your hands", not just marvelling at ebuild clarity, but also the likes of how it caters for patches and saved configs, and portage just carries on with it, as you want it, like a cool summer breeze... :) [/gentoo-fanboi mouth-froth. ... Started getting carried away again there].
I had just been listening to some NDExperiencer/spiritualist or something just before posting that. And she was on about the level of perspective from which we do choose everything [from the timeless spirit realm "before" we were born]. :/ Hardly all that helpful from down here. Bit of a tractionless over-reach.
Yeah, that is (or was) part of the gentoo fun. :3 Lots of that kind of fun around the python versioning. Figuring out what emerge's output means is sometimes 90% of the challenge, and other times if feels like that, but then it turns out to be only 10% of the challenge. But as for python versioning specifically, that may have very recently had a big uptick in getting slipstreamed through with fewer bumps in the road for users to deal with. Fingers crossed in hope, ~ remains to be seen through many future versions yet.
And there are official binhosts now, so it generally only compiles what you've changed the useflags for. Gentoo package management's as snappy as other distros now. Though still as involved as ever for configuring the system how you want (albeit with few more ways to make it bother you a little less often now).
Heh. That was fun to try to read. Took a couple extra seconds.
Then I wondered how well an LLM would manage that... XD It's been going at it for minutes already.
Oh, it's done now...
