I’m using Arch Linux for 2 years. I subscribed to Arch’s mailing lists and I check my mails daily. I use flatpak instead of AUR.
I installed my system with archinstall and I update whenever I want. I didn’t have any issues yet and it’s the only distro that just works for me.
What about your experience? Any “breakage”?
I have a couple of arch machines. On my daily driver personal laptop, it’s been there since 2017. It was on there for a few years before that but I upgraded the hard drive so I reinstalled.
It’s bulletproof IMO. I use yay but I only update that once a month. I update pacman maybe once a week or whatever I hear of a update/patch and when I install something new. I tinkered it a bunch when it was fresh and rarely tinker anymore, because it’s basically perfect as it is.
