From time to time you'll see the same question pop up "Is Arch Linux Unstable" and today I wanted to talk about what it's been like in my experience and why the framing of this question doesn't really make much sense and would be felt in other distros if it was the case. So is stability something you should be worried about when using Arch Linux.

I use the same Arch-based installation since Dec. 2018. There was exactly one time an update messed something up and I had to do more than a reboot to fix it(I had to kill a few systemd services before rebooting). That already makes it more stable than some "stable" distros I've tried. And Arch doesn't have strange default configurations that mess up compatibility here and there.
It also forced me to learn a bit more about how Linux works in the background, which again made it much easier to configure and fix a couple things myself.
Now it would be different if I ran a server or a machine that really just has to work no matter what, but for my development machine with nice backup and restore setup I really prefer the comfort and compatibility that I get from the huge repositories with current software that makes setting up development environments etc. so much more painless.

Configure snapshots using timeshift
Fucked it up? Run 1 command and it's almost fixed

All my the problems with arch boils down to:
Wifi drivers (but I feel it's a thing of the past now).
Proprietary Nvidia drivers(fuck em).
And I've been GNOME'D couple of times.
Some hardware stuff mostly was ACPI shenanigans.
Dependency stuff.
Otherwise, without using Nvidia drivers, and after ditching Gnome the experience is quite stable.

It was so unstable. Back in 2012 the system die after a pacman - Syu. X don't start, network die pyhon or libraries no compatible with newer versions that was the norm back in that days

But in 2020 the system work like a charm

pairly stable but carefull when you upgrade your kernel
or use unofficial repo like kernel-lts like me
and i recommending to use artix linux with openrc
openrc is more stablized than systemd

your system will work fine as long as you stay away from using the aur if you dont know anything about the aur

Arch has become f;;'" up the installer has pear and a screwed up python script. It ripped out my mbr from my hard drive installing a dos settup on an win7 i3 processor 4 core i tried 6 times in a vm both in virtmanage and vmbox. No use for idiots that fix things not broken
