Did you seriously just suggest that Arch never has any issues? How did you manage to achieve that, because I gave up on Arch due to it breaking at least once a fortnight. The "bleeding edge" is called that for a reason: you're likely to bleed when using it.

I run arch with the testing repos on both my work and home desktops, and the normal repos on one of my servers, and I've had updates break things exactly once between them (broadcom NIC wouldn't come up on my home desktop), and the fix was just a matter of rolling back 1 kernel version. So I guess YMMV?

I very rarely have any issues with Arch. Like, maybe once a year. And they're always easy to fix.

One big difference is I don't run a desktop environment (kde, gnome, or whatever crap is out there now). I suspect that makes things a lot less likely to break when I do updates.
