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 ran Antergos for years before they stopped development, then I converted to vanilla Arch. There were the occasional boot issues after an update, but it worked out after grub reinstallation/reconfiguration. After an update a month ago, my laptop finally stopped booting properly no matter how many troubleshooting steps I did. I couldn’t pinpoint which update crashed it because it wouldn’t boot properly. Switched to other distros to test and they didn’t work either, so I figured my (very old) laptop just finally died.

    Right now I’m running Mint on another old laptop as I have no time to maintain a bleeding edge distro and I just need something that works.

      Antergos is EndeavourOS now and I find Arch based distros bullshit/bloat.

      Grub is shit. I always use systemd-boot. It’s simpler and reliable.

      Issue is not Arch, packages that user chose.
