I've used Arch for about 10 years now, and I haven't done a reinstall ever. I've moved to new hardware (laptops and servers) several times over the years, so I've done fresh installs on the new hardware. Does that count? > a system that requires regular reinstalls to be usable/stable. Windows 95, 98 and XP were like that, no? Those have been the standard business operating system over the years.

>Windows 95, 98 and XP were like that, no? I'm not sure that being on par with a 30-year old operating system is much of an accolade. Windows sucked back then, it's just that it sucked less than DOS.

  I've used Arch since 2012 or 2013 and never done a reinstall. I'm just mentioning that amazingly popular Standard Business Operating Systems, that virtually everyone used, loved and defended, were like that. Arch, in my experience, is not like that.

    > that virtually everyone used, loved and defended, were like that Were you actually using Windows back in those days? Absolutely nobody loved or defended them. We used them because we had to, not because they were good.
