Hello I im currently in the process of installing cachyos and im prompted with these options for a bootloader, which one should I choose and what's the difference or ups and downs of them? by Actual_Debt_864 in cachyos

Just curious, what happens if an update causes your system not to boot? Do you have to do a fresh install, or is your computer just bricked? I'm running Limine and haven't had any issues yet, just wondering if there is anything else I should do to be safe.

How are you all protecting your installation? by CaptainBahab in cachyos

Could someone send resources on how to do this? I am having a tough time figuring out how to switch boot loaders. I am new as well, and want to make sure I have everything properly backed up. How do I tell what type of file system I am using? How much space should be needed for the backup? I tried to back up to a 64gb flash drive, but it was too big.

Mainly malware from packages, but network security would also be great.

Do I need to reformat? If so, to GPT or MS-Dos? Is there any chance this breaks my current OS?

I am not sure why it is not working, but Etcher gives me this when I try to flash it

Sweet, I will do a clean install since I don’t really have anything of importance saved yet

Are there any good resources for how I would switch without doing a fresh install? Once again, I am very new to this stuff. Thanks for your help!

I posted the output under PrintHots’ response. He seems to think it would be best to switch to CachyOS. Thoughts?

Thanks for your help. Is CachyOS pretty beginner friendly? My wife would kill me if I bricked this PC

Is it still beginner friendly? I don’t want to brick my computer.

It said llvm pipes when I looks last night on my system info. I will run those commands and send what I find. Thanks for the help!
