unity is so fruity that my whole system grinds to a halt whenever i so much as hit alt-tab, and pacman >>> shit idiot garbage aptitude

did i ever tell y'all about how i managed to break my crunchbang install to the point where X uninstalled itself? i needed a version of transmission that wasn't literally years old because blah blah torrent feature technobabble, and this particular feature had only been added after the fucking clinton administration so naturally none of the repos had it. i went 'whatever', enabled the repo that had it, and bam, unresolvable cascade of dependency issues. transmission uninstalled gimp, reinstalling gimp uninstalled firefox, reinstalling firefox uninstalled a bunch of other shit, and this went on until X got wiped and i switched to archbang. which was a great OS until the arch devs reorganized everything for no reason and made it impossible to update without similar unresolvable cascades that, well, before i gave up on it i was reinstalling it every few days
