    The "Arch breaks all the time" people have obviously never used Arch.

    I've run Arch as a daily driver for the last 4 and a half years and haven't had any issues. I've tried Pop_OS twice in that time and had install-breaking issues within a week in both cases.

    Only time I've ever broken my ~10 year arch box is when I don't read the news feed

    where is the news feed? I just had my arch laptop wiped out and it'd be nice to avoid it next time

    I used arch for 1.5 years and it did break a lot. Though I did use nvidia, so it was to be expected.

    Switched to Nixos yesterday because it was kind of anxiety-inducing knowing my main computer was sitting on a time bomb that only got worse as time went on, as I toyed with the system more and more

    Absolutely loved arch though, and I hope I’ll love nix as well

    Literally switched off nix today because of a few mandatory (for me) packages were broken and I already regret it. Nix is such an awesome is and its impossible to break. Unlike Debian that fucked itself because rfkill wasint installed and that borked my networking on my PC. Couldn't start my nic or anything and stayed up til 2 am trying to fix til I said fuck it and re-installed. Switching back to nix tomorrow!

    YMMV

    I run Manjaro with KDE on X11.

    I find the SYSTEM is extremely stable.

    But the USER likes to tip the boat until it does a barrel roll, or sinks entirely.

    So we have Snapshots, and we have rsync backups to a mounted drive.... Then it matters not - a quick restart fixes most issues, and a reinstall takes only 6 minutes with no data lost -> in backups.

    That's stable enough for me.

    Same Arch has been my daily driver for 10 plus years.
