not for me ... since arch linux i barely have to tinker around to get the system running after an update - on debian/ubuntu it happened almost every time a major update came that i had to reinstall the whole system ... is many years ago though, could be better now ๐ for me, arch is usually absolutely stable - update, probably reboot due to core-updates, do work... ๐
Both the left and right sides of the bus may be populated with many other examples, come on ๐ And in the end both sides do serve a purpose, for different people. It's the one-size-must-fit-them-all approach spoiling people, not an embarrassment of riches.
After chatting with someone who went into the deep end with Arch, I can confidently disagree with the idea of this image. I, for one, don't want to deal with Arch, but if you are technically inclined, tinker with software constantly, it seems to be a match made in heaven. I, for one, like the simplicity of Mint. So, I guess each option can make someone's day just a little happier. Let's just appreciate neither of them are using the M$ OS. Brothers in arms. ๐
Absolutely not! I am an arch user and I haven't needed to troubleshoot my computer for years now. I troubleshoot my ubuntu server after almost every update. Altough I've necer used Mint.
I installed Arch because it was the "final Linux boss" for me. I didn't expect to use it every day for normal activities, because I also heard that it is an unstable system. I also have Fedora and Windows. But it turned out that Arch is as stable as any other Linux... at least for now
@chrishuck For many years I used the #Knoppixโs Live CDs for fixing/rescuing stuff from non-bootable/loaded with viruses/bloated, etc. Windows PCs (you probably guessed that Iโm the โfamily IT guyโ). When Knoppix updates stopped in 2021, I started looking for a replacement. Since I donโt have direct access to most of these PCs, I need something that is โplug-and-playโ with minimum instructions via FaceTime/Skype, etc. (1/2)

Once my Linux tinkering hyperfixation wore off I installed EndeavourOS with the LTS kernel instead.
