So I wanted to install Artix but my hdd died and I only had an arch ISO at hand, how can I migrate my machine to Artix without having to delete my packages or home folder?

and s6 chads

Brb, installing Devuan

You can use the same home partition. Packages are a massive hassle though

Fuck should've started there thank you

I don't have partitions, I just have the home folder at / and that's it, that's why I was wondering if I could

This is a vulnerability in polkit not systemd you retard.

Hmm... It's almost like the exploit was hidden under systemD's mass of complexity and over-integration.
Who could have predicted this?

b-but security through obscurity bad!!!! reddit told me that after I asked if milions of LoC in systemd might be dangerous

Which software pulled in polkit as a dependency?

A fuckload of things use polkit.

winning

Would those fuckload of things happen to fall under the systemd umbrella of shitware?

No fuckwit.

Arch had the patch the day this was announced you dumb nigger zoomer

oh for fucks sake. the absolute state of "researchers".

>caring about exploits
jesus, you probably would be fine on a windows 2000 and never be ""hacked""
exploits are meaningful for companies cuz they can be targeted but on desktop it doesent matter

scroll past that, you gigaton idiot with downs.
