As much as I enjoy the memes of arch being a pain to keep alive, as long as you’re not doing crazy shit and you keep an eye on the docs it’s easy to keep going. I’ve had the same install for over 5 years on my laptop with no issues.
You have to keep an eye on the docs? WTF? I just want to use my PC, not constantly watch out for impending doom from running an update on the wrong day.

Then don’t run arch? Arch is meant for a certain type of user, not all users. That the advantage of Linux distros over something like Mac or Windows.
Then I guess the meme is right. That’s all I was saying.
The meme is an extreme exaggeration, reading the wiki for a couple minutes a week doesn’t make your system meaninglfully less productive.
Hating on Arch because it’s not your bag is just weird. It’s like getting angry at the condiment aisle because you don’t like mustard.
Ain’t nobody got time for that.
