I was Nobara user, then I am using Fedora right now. I want to use things like Hyprland etc. and ya know, Its damn cool to say I am using arch btw. So I’ve decided to use Arch Linux. But everyone says its always breaking and gives problems. That’s because of users, not OS… right? I love to deal with problems but I don’t want to waste my time. Is Arch really problemful OS? Should I use it? I know what to do with setup/ usage, the hardness of Arch is not problem for me but I am just concerned about the mindset “Arch always gets broken”.

    Who thinks that Arch always broke is one of the two:

    • An user that is trying to mess with the system always; or
    • A person that don’t know Arch and is repeating non-sense

    My Arch install has almost 5 years and I never had an issue that was like “oh no! O need to reinstall everything!”

    Interesting enough, when I was using release-based distros, almost every big update my system become unstable and I had to reinstall me whole system.

      Agreed. I broke arch multiple times over the years. Once I learned to read the arch news, pay attention to the pacman log, and not just “yay - update complete” my way through updates - it’s been pretty solid for years. More so than the “stable, noob friendly distros”
