As much as I enjoy the memes of arch being a pain to keep alive, as long as you're not doing crazy shit and you keep an eye on the docs it's easy to keep going. I've had the same install for over 5 years on my laptop with no issues.

You have to keep an eye on the docs? WTF? I just want to use my PC, not constantly watch out for impending doom from running an update on the wrong day.

Then don't run arch? Arch is meant for a certain type of user, not all users. That the advantage of Linux distros over something like Mac or Windows.

Then I guess the meme is right. That's all I was saying.

The meme is an extreme exaggeration, reading the wiki for a couple minutes a week doesn't make your system meaninglfully less productive.

Hating on Arch because it's not your bag is just weird. It's like getting angry at the condiment aisle because you don't like mustard.

I don't even keep an eye on the docs and I think the only issue I've had in the last 10 years was that stupid grub bug they refused to call a bug. Was an easy enough fix, chroot, installed systemdboot, never thought about it again. Ended up being kind of nice systemdboot is waaaaaaaaay less complicated.

Other than that I've literally never had an issue from an update. But I also don't do much. Use plasma, play games on steam, Rarely use AUR, and update like idk once a week or so.
