- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content

sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
4. No recent reposts

Last time I installed arch the archinstall didn't exist in its current form yet... It's been working fine since then. Arch truly is eternal in that you never need to reinstall.
That's called a Rolling Release. It will periodically bless you with a broken system to test your sysadmin skills.
(brace for all the "bUt It'S sTaBLe FoR mE" replies)
I give you a thumbs up.
When I was running XFCE with Arch, my Installation was several years old and I only had a handful of incidents that needed manual Intervention, which was very manageable for me, so at the end of the day, it was the most stable system I had by far compared to other distributions I used, although I had a Nvidia GPU.
When I switched to Plasma with Wayland on my newer AMD only machine, I constantly had issues especially with Plasma after updates. And these were things I could not fix but rather needed to find workarounds until it got fixed with a later update (for example NTFS support on Dolphin not working properly, panels crashing constantly, configurations that partly got reset etc.)
Arch can be really stable but only if you use conservative Software for your DE/WM and critical infrastructure.
It truly is stable for me π

Mine breaks the Wifi (and ethernet) every time I update on my t480. I don't know why.
