> Arch requires more time to maintain, and more manual maintenance. So in order to justify that extra spent time a lot of times they will bring up minor stuff that happens in Debian/Ubuntu, like this bug from 12 years ago, in order to justify running Arch, which is more of a "learn Linux" hobby.
This is the feeling I get, and it's why I never bothered with Arch, or Gentoo before that. I started on Slackware, and while it was a great learning experience, I feel that's not a lesson I need to repeat.
Same reason for my move from RedHat (after an RPM dependency breakage) to Debian: Debian just works. It GTFO of my way and let's me focus on my code and my projects. Yes, there have been issues, no, Debian isn't "perfect", but like my preferred MUA "it sucks less than all the alternatives."
