I've broken Arch but never broken Gentoo. I think this more due to the fact I ran Arch first and you then Gentoo first, rather than any real difference between them.
Gentoo is more stable than Arch by default, though. It's not actually a bleeding edge distro, but you can choose to run it that way if you wish. Gentoo is about choice.

I actually had way more trouble with stuff breaking with Ubuntu. That's because every six months, when I did the distro upgrade, lots of stuff broke at once and it was hard to do root cause analysis. With a rolling distribution, it's usually only one thing breaking at a time.
- johnisgood 2y agoUbuntu et al. are notorious for breaking stuff. If you want to remove a package, it sometimes want to delete your Linux kernel. :|
- johnisgood 2y agoI have used Gentoo and Arch. I still favor Arch, however. I like pacman (C), I don't like Portage (Python). I found Arch Linux to be more stable than Gentoo, but that is just my own experience.
