1. Follow the site-wide rules
- Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
2. Be civil
- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
- 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.
- These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudo
in Windows.
- No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

That's what happens when you pick a distro SPECIFICALLY TARGETED AT ENTHUSIASTS.
I've been daily driving it for 3 years and it's been no more or less stable than Ubuntu or Debian. Though i use a pretty minimal WM...
Arch is incredibly stable... As long as you know what you're doing. The majority of people who would move from windows to Linux expecting a similar experience won't find that in Arch, unless they're willing to become enthusiasts.
This is the OS version of "it works on my machine"
Lemme enable the [core-testing] repo! What could possibly go wrong? /s
But yeah, honestly, I agree with this, arch is incredibly stable as long as you know what you're doing.
I update when I feel like it tbh. My laptop hasn't updated in like a month or so
