That’s true. Let the largest BGP routers go down for 5 minutes and any demands the people who run them have would be met.
I work in I.T. and am interested in every sub-field. I also study English, Spanish, German, French, Koine Greek, Latin, Mandarin & Swahili. I’m interested in human culture.
I like Linux, but mainly use Windows because of work.

Reboot and see if it still happens. If it does, is it always the same characters that are missing?
A quick search for “Linux missing characters” says it could be the font that you’re using.
I would try in the terminal (Ctrl+Alt+F3 or F1 or F2 depending on the distro), and then a live iso, then a live version of Windows or the Windows installer.
That was an interesting story. Thank you for posting it!
That sounds more like Gentoo. With Arch, you at least get the foundation with plumbing and electrical run to the site.
For my public-facing server, I use Debian Testing, since I haven’t had any major issues with it’s stability. Auto-upgrades usually work , although there were a few times I had to manually intervene on the latest name-change upgrade from Bookworm to Trixie. I usually don’t even log-in except every few months.
At home, where it will only affect me, and possibly my family dealing with me, if the whole O. S. crashes and has to be rebuilt from backups, I use Arch.
I’ll bet one of the exceptions is having a bunch of money.
