I like how you Arch guys seem to paint rest of us as some old folks who upate once a year our packages. I was literally running pacman -Suy weekly, but none of that should matter. It is the distribution maintainers and the package managers literal job to keep the OS running and runnable. It shouldn't matter how often I update my packages they should be migrated from one version to the next like any sane package manager does.

Yeah, sure. This is where the "Linux is only free if your time has no value" saying comes from. I think I've said this in all comments in the thread, but if it isn't abundantly clear anyone is free to use any distro they want or any OS for that matter (I use all major 3 almost daily), but I would not recommend anyone to use Arch unless they are willing to spend a lot of time fiddling with their machine and I wouldn't install it on anything that I might have to use at a moments notice since as I've been told part of Arch is that updating your packages just breaks your OS.
