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 used the same Arch install from about 2018. Regular updates, several AUR packages (pikaur), a migrate to md raid home and root, encrypted root/home, major hardware upgrades; all with no issues.
The removal of python 2 was the hardest thing I’ve had to handle; but that really wasn’t difficult with understanding of the package manager.
