I saw a similar post here recently, but this is slightly different.
I’m running MythTV on Arch which is working fine (of course), but when MythTv came out of the main packages and went to the AUR, it was just a little harder to maintain and had some compolation issues due to ffmpeg, etc - to the point: my last update was probably 3 years ago.
The (minor) issues I currently have are:
- terminator won’t start 1st time, but starts fine 2nd time
- shutdown’s take a few minutes due to a systemd issue
- everything’s woefully out of date
So… considering all the changes with audio and video over the last few years do I just pacman -Syuv and crack on… or… start again from scratch?
(Yep, full backup 1st)

why not both?
Set a time limit.
Try an upgrade first, if the manual fixing surpasses the time you are willing to spend, then do a fresh install.
Yeah, I could just see if Arch can handle upgrading a long term neglected system…
Kinda feel it’s gonna lose track of which packages are replaced by others, but will be interesting to see
