From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It'll be fine, I'd argue Arch is actually more "stable" in the ordinary sense since it is simpler - in that partial upgrades are not allowed. So you never end up in a complicated mess like aptitude can be.
I've used Arch for over a decade now, and have only had issues 3 or 4 times (usually from the nvidia driver).
"Stable" in the ordinary sense means that it most likely won't break, but if it does, the cause and solution are predictable.
Arch has a "spray and pray" approach. It's so bad that it many times failed to boot because I updated it for the first time in a month, and would update just fine a few weeks after that.
Also, do remind me, what other distros released a faulty GRUB update and caused a large portion of their user base to fail to boot, multiple times? Such stability
Not supported != not allowed...
