Yeahhh, I really don’t need bleeding edge software on my daily driver box. If you enjoy doing post mortems on logs, more power to you, I have things to do.
Imma be real… Arch has been the most consistent system I’ve used to date.
I’ve been using linux off and on since like 2008. I jumped around from ubuntu, fedora, opensus, popOS, centOS, etc… I’ve had manjaro and now arch as my daily driver for probably 4 or more years now and Arch updates have only ever broke one thing, one time, and it was more of a audio pipewire issue than it was really archs fault.
arch updates do not deserve this slander, its been very reliable for me, more than probably any system i’ve ever used.
Ubuntu-based is based, change my mind.
Ubuntu has some nice properties like predictable LTS schedules and a large community, but snap is making it really hard to tolerate ubuntu these days.
I love Ubuntu. It’s by far the most popular distro and that comes with the very helpful perk of it being easier to find support. More users means more people who can answer your questions. It means more people who might fix some issue that annoys you. And all the while, it is a solid and easy to use distro.
Is it just me who chuckles when all the peeps here confirm the meme by their “BuT Me ArCh NeVeR bRoKe” posts all super serious and not at all a little butthurt? <Insert trollface>
IDK, I’ve maybe had 2 system breaking incidents like this in 7+ years.
