Sorry. Your query does not exist.

Is Arch Linux long term support or rolling release?

It's bleeding edge.  A new thing comes out it goes straight in to Arch. I've never had any stability issues with Arch. I do not run it as a server, but for desktops sure it's great!

Lol, that's bullshit. How long have you been running arch that you've never had stability issues?

You've never

Code:

sudo pacman -Syu

and had to futz around with some shit and browse the wiki because the latest upgrade broke XXX and now your XXX isn't working anymore but you really want it to work because you need it for XXX?

Sorry if i'm coming on too hard, but i just find it hard to believe
Most, if not all, Arch users come across stability issues. We become so used to them that we tell other people "Yeah i've been running arch stable" but stable to us is very, very different than stable to someone running Debian.


As for OP, you can try OpenSUSE, or if you want to venture to the other side of POSIX-compliant UNIX-like-OS' freeBSD.

Probs coming up on 2 years Arch only now, sorry I meant clearly superior to every one else ~"hey babe, did you know I run Arch? It's as minimal as my game"~, 2 Laptops and a full time desktop. The only issue I've ever had that was system breaking was trying to get GPU drivers to work well, but that was on an AMD card so it was a lost cause from the get go really. But just Arch being Arch I've never had any issues.

Never have I ever updated and had an issue. Maybe I'm just super lucky, idk or indoctrinated to the point I don't see them as problems. Just the whole "OOHH ARCH 2 HARD 2 1337" meme seems a bit over played from my perspective <_>

Arch Linux, give that a try.

Arch Linux is not very stable

Wrong, I have only had Arch screw up once, while I have had Debian break >= 3 times
