  • Been using it for about 4 years now, and its been really solid.

    its generally very stable, there have been a couple of times where a few packages broke due to some updates, which got fixed fairly quickly, or sometimes the kernel updates mess something up and you gotta reboot into the LTS kernel, which is easy enough to do.

    I mainly just keep up with the newsletter on archlinux.org, i check on it once in like 2 weeks or so, you might need to make some minor manual changes once in a while. Another manual thing you gotta do is if you made changes to a file in /etc or something and an update comes that changes the same file you gotta manually resolve it, but its easy to do with the “pacdiff” program, takes only a few minutes of manual editing, and again this is only once in a few months generally.

    ArchWiki is really good, and the software repos have alot of stuff plus you get the AUR for pretty much anything else you might need.
