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”?
When multiple people report frequent issues, your first instinct shouldn’t be to defend your favourite distro.
You think everyone who claims “Arch is unreliable and breaks” has actually had frequent issues with Arch?
I’m willing to bet that a not-insignificant portion of these people have never actually used Arch for a significant amount of time and just parrot it without thinking. Just like the Nvidia people and the systemd people.
I’m one of the Nvidia people and it indeed does suck.
I’m not defending anything. I’m trying to understand the issue and from what I saw, it’s not Arch’s fault.
“Arch sucks! My GRUB is boooom!”
I use systemd-boot because Grub always sucks… Nothing to do with Arch, u see?
Ah yes, why are people so silly as to use Grub, the single most widely used bootloader in the Linux universe, we should blame that poor choice when they have problems with arch
