Do you update your Arch often (daily) or not?
Which would be better?

I figure, if I update every day, I’ll likely not expect any issues, so I’d be less careful. And if something goes wrong (cause I didn’t read the news or the PKGBUILDs), I probably won’t have time to fix it right now.
Whereas if I update monthly, it’s something I’m taking my time to do, read the news beforehand, pay more attention and will have scheduled some time for it.

What’s your take?

    Anything after a week or two is playing russian roulette in my opinion. Arch has so many fast moving packages, the longer you take the more likely it would break. That might not be the case anymore, but that is my opinion.
