Arch ships to new of packages for my comfort. This leads to breakages if you don’t read the update notes. I want my system to stay updated automatically and Arch causes to many headaches.
I’ve been using Arch for over a decade now. On a laptop, desktop, VPS and now it’s also driving Steam OS on the Deck. I had very little problems with it compared to our Ubuntu setups at work that randomly break on updates. Ubuntu is not as bad as it used to be but from my experience (i.e. the way I use it), Arch has been more stable and reliable.
But then your installing it locally. The benefit to containers is they can be deleted.
Also Arch is a unstable mess and requires updates way to frequently

That’s fine if you like that kind of thing. However it isn’t for everyone
Sorry to be a grammar nazi but that’s the second time and it annoys some of us. It’s literally a different word with a different meaning!

I have also had issues with Ubuntu. I just stick with Debian because I don’t have to touch it for years.
Can you do the same with Arch? Also why do you need newer packages on a server? (I’m taking about the VPS)
