Interesting. I liked Arch at home, but I could never really use it. I would end up going back to Windows for gaming.
Anyways, three-and-half years ago at work I got the chance to install Arch. Three years later, the only issue I ever had with wildly doing 'pacman -Syu' was GRUB, which got screwed at some point. I got scared back then, but I had the Live USB dongle to the rescue and I could access Arch own wiki with my phone. Anyways, I could quickly solve the problem.
Six months ago I did the install from scratch, and this time I have yet to face any issues with package installation/upgrade/dependency resolution. Even AUR packages sometimes if they fail you just have to make small adjustments to the PKGBUILD file and be done with it.
It’d be nice to know what kind of packages you’ve been having issues with: at work I deal mostly with Ruby, Erlang, and database engines. As for other packages, Synaptics input and... probably that’s what. Also, whatever dependencies Awesome WM and fish shell require.
