I use arch, btw :3
I use Alpine Linux, btw.
The thing is… arch…. You can actually fix. Most times.
Unlike the proverbial him.
(Not that you should have to.)
(yeah, you dont have to fix anyone. just reinstall them)
Highly accurate, but, even if you fix him…An update will break him, as Arch Linux moves fast as hell!
That’s the neat part, if anything’s broken, just update, it’s probably fixed in a next version already. Then, when you find what broke on the last update, just update again, it’ll be fixed by then.
not many read the arch linux news, causing such breakage to happen ._.
After a year there’s only something about linux-firmware requiring manual intervention.
I thought I wasn’t reading the news in correct place. Manjaro had update snapshot discussion threads, and usually there were things to fix manually. Usually just minor things.
It’s the other way around, arch can fix me
I keep hearing this argument but I’ve either been very lucky or something else.
I’ve been using arch or arch based distros for 15 years on my main machine and never had a system crash or issue.
Sadly it’s probably nearly impossible to get representative data but I am strongly suspecting the majority of cases of things “randomly” breaking are either because of rando stuff installed from the AUR, or messing with things without understanding the implications of doing so.

People who have a favourite pencil.
Pentel Graphgear 1000 is my favorite mechanical pencil, and my favorite Linux distro is NixOS… hm

Arch often seems to ignore the fundamental rule:
Linus is in the right. Arch developers are frequently in the wrong.
Don’t use Arch if that’s important to you
