My Ubuntu broke literally every time I did a version upgrade. It's probably better now, but I'm not going back.
The last system that straight up broke for me was a default installation of Debian Stable, and that wasn't long ago.
I understand Arch isn't easy to use or maintain.
But in my opinion, if you use something wrong and it breaks, that doesn't mean it's unstable. And if you update Arch by simply hitting "pacman -Syu" every day, you're doing it wrong.
But if lots of people use it wrong and break it then maybe it's too obtuse. I broke one of my applications by upgrading packages. The solution? Install the package again, I thought the package manager would take care of stuff like that but if it's meant to be me then I think it's a bad system.
I always find it kinda weird when people criticize free software.
Like, the developers make something, give it to you for free, pay for server space so you can download it for free, and then you say "it sucks".
OK, just don't use it then.
Criticism and hate are two different things. I hate windows, I can criticise parts of arch Linux which is so far my favourite OS. Me not liking part of it or the way it works doesn't mean there's another version that is completely perfect and I should just shut up and use that. Also no it doesn't suck, but updating my system and having it break is a problem I should not be having.
