Read the news on the front page. And update more often.

Hmmm... Never once did I ever find those news bits on any website useful. First time for everything I guess.

And update more often.

Because every time I do my system gets all kinds of problems. Like just now I got a kernel panic, after refused to boot because it couldn't find the swap to resume and dropped to an emergency shell but then I couldn't do anything so I booted the live CD and did fsck and mkinitcpio -P. Maybe it's because I didn't do swapon? doubt it.

So idk WTF to do now. All I did was Pacman -Syu
