            That’s why I switched to Arch. Every stack overflow article to fix little problems with sound or screen tearing or whatever was a 1 line fix for arch or 4 to 6 lines for Ubuntu.

                I work in a stem center as a computer science tutor and it has happened to myself as well as a tutee and a fellow tutor. We all moved because keeping up with a rolling release gets tiring when you have projects with deadlines. They call it the bleeding edge because it has a tendency to cut you.

                I still love arch and there’s parts of it I miss. Fedora just has a tendency to break less often.

                  Maybe it’s just ubuntu being bad, but I’ve had way fewer issues on arch after switching to it. I had like 4 issues where my pc just wouldn’t boot in the 3 years I was running Ubuntu, and I’ve had I think 1 in 4 years on arch.

                  Granted I’ve gotten more comfortable with linux in that time and have gotten better at fixing problems.

      I’ve been daily driving it for 3 years and it’s been no more or less stable than Ubuntu or Debian. Though i use a pretty minimal WM…

        Arch is incredibly stable… As long as you know what you’re doing. The majority of people who would move from windows to Linux expecting a similar experience won’t find that in Arch, unless they’re willing to become enthusiasts.

        This is the OS version of “it works on my machine”

          Lemme enable the [core-testing] repo! What could possibly go wrong? /s

          But yeah, honestly, I agree with this, arch is incredibly stable as long as you know what you’re doing.
