If it was on something like BTRFS it'd probably be fine, though I imagine there's still a small window where the FS could flush while the file is being written.
renameat2
has the EXCHANGE flag to atomically switch 2 files, so if arch maintainers want to fix it they could doI read this as "rena meat 2" and was very confused
it was btrfs.
Just having btrfs is not enough, you need to have automatic snapshots (or do them manually) before doing updates and configured grub to allow you to rollback.
Personally, I'm to lazy to configure stuff like that, I rather just pick my Vetroy USB from backpack, boot into live image and just fix it (while learning something/new interesting) than spend time preventing something that might never happen to me :)
