After using Archlinux for a weak I just give up.. There are so many annoying bugs.. Not system breaking bugs but little annoying bugs which drive me insane. First virt-manager was not working while using Virtio-GPU drivers and now blender showing a missing library error..

No wonder why Arch is called an unstable distro. Rolling release distros not cool for a consistent environment.

I am going back to my old arrangement which was Debian+Backports+Flatpaks

Led by renowned researchers, the excavation of the burial cave in Catalonia has uncovered tantalizing clues about prehistoric burial rituals and societal evolution. Could this cave have been a haunt for our Neanderthal ancestors? And did they deliberately manipulate human bones found within?
