FQQDI don't think I'll continue using Arch, btw
RootAccessOut of curiosity: Which operating system(s) can you shutdown while the kernel is being overwritten? I wouldn’t imagine that as a limitation of Arch Linux specifically.
I think fedora would survive this abuse. It doesn’t replace when you install kernels, but instead adds it.
TxzKAlso Fedora ships 3 kernels by default. If one breaks, maybe the others will keep working.
ZloubidaWith Manjaro you choose how much kernels you want.
Arch let’s you install kernels till /boot is full…
Yes. I have it set up this way. I forgot it wasn’t the default. For the amount of headache it would solve, I wonder if the Arch team has a specific reason for not keeping a number of previous kernels by default.
Ubuntu (and probably Debian too) will keep an old kernel in your grub list so you can boot off that one if needed.
