Flo give it a year or two, if you update stuff regularly that is, and you'll probably be tempted to switch to Manjaro.

Last night I managed to delete my entire system
... the whole freaking ssd.
I was watching/listening to something and testing some archive management for
my system on that usb... then I wanted to remove the usb contents, which were
simply in /mnt and because of the previous tests and command editing I typed:
> sudo rm -rf / instead of /mnt/

In 5 seconds nothing was working, just my mouse and screens were active, 2
seconds later, the screen was off and the system just crashed
The problem is I did the same on the live usb today freaking confusing relative
path with the absolute one. But I learned my lesson and fixed everything now.

Lucky a few hours ago, last night, I burned a dvd with the .zip archive... to test
it on the usb
... so I ended up needing it to restore my entire system
