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’ve been using Arch in 1 desktop and 1 laptop for like 7 years now as a daily driver. I use pacman and AUR to install stuff. I haven’t had a breakage yet. In fact, I’ve had hardware get better supported over time due to access to the latest kernel updates.
Most impressively, I had my desktop shutoff for like 8 months one time. When I turned it on and updated the system packages… Everything just worked and I was immediately up to date.
