Huh, it seems people's experience varies a lot. I've been using Arch as my primary OS at work and home for something like 4 years now. It's been quite stable and low maintenance. It has broken a 3 or 4 times, but my Windows install that I play games on has broken more times than that.
- qwertyuiop924 10y agoYeah, that's been my experience as well. I tried ubuntu first, and that broke every 6 months. Finally, a kernel upgrade rendered my system unusable, and I switched to Fedora once it was fixed. Fedora didn't break as much, but it still broke. Finally, I switched to Arch. I've been able to fix any breakage, and my system's been fine ever since.
- michaelmrose 10y agoIsn't it strange in 2016 that its considered ok to break at all?
- qwertyuiop924 10y agoNo. Software breaks. The question is when, and if it's fixable. With Arch, I find the answers are "soon" and "yes".
- qwertyuiop924 10y agoAaaaugh! I meant "not so soon." Arch breaks infrequently for me.
- michaelmrose 10y agoI liked the first response better.
