I'm genuinely curious as to why pacman gets so much shit. I've been using Arch with no DE for my home server (acts as my router, firewall, webserver and mailserver) and have had no issues with pacman. This is not b8, I really want to hear what people have against it

They don't.Most people hate apt.

Also, general Arch discussion welcome

Then why has it become a meme?

This isn't 2008,son.You need to update your dank meme cache.
>>54658773
its not a meme its people being mad.
ever since they updated pacman to preserver both new and old configuraiton files and when they switched to systemd the only way you could possibly break your system is installing aur packages manually instead of using something like pacaur or yaourt.

Some like being a hipster.
Pacman doesn't want to remove gnome-shell if I want to remove some shit games. It's written in C, well structured and the output is not a 500 word essay tier mess

Pacman will not overwrite .conf files if they've been editted.
A .pacnew file will be generated beside the existing conf file, and it's up to the user to merge in the changes.
Xorg.conf would probably be a common conf file to tweak.
If a noob didn't keep on top of his pacnew files, this could eventually cause a problem.
But pacman alerts you when they are generated.
Other than that, there's no reason I can think of why Arch would "break" anything. It's solid as fuck. I used it for years. But I still distro hop.
