    how to tell you are using Arch without saying it. Don’t use a rolling release on your own if you aren’t willing to pay the maintenance cost. edit: no, I’m not an ubuntu user.

      Actually, at work I use Kubuntu and at home I use Arch Linux.

      Guess which install borks out of nowhere automatically because od auto-updates? Exactly. Kubuntu.

      Arch is pretty solid and stable. Never broke, never reinstalled unlike most Ubuntu distros

        my private desktop Linux installs still occasionally bork themselves for no good reason and require a reinstall

        Edit: oh, you aren’t even OP. But I see I triggered you. And you have repeated the same you are saying in the parallel comment? Are you here reading all comments to this specific comment?

      I use Ubuntu 22.04 on my laptop and EndeavourOS (which is based on Arch) on my desktop. I spend WAY more time troubleshooting random shit on my Ubuntu machine compared to EndeavourOS.

      I use EndeavourOS, which is Arch based, it has a great and very easy installer and it just worked after installing it and has worked ever since. Arch isn’t that hard anymore.

      What’s the “maintenance cost”? Arch had a pretty big setup cost, but mostly because I wanted to configure it to my liking, but I haven’t had to do any maintenance. My Arch server has had low setup time as well.
