    I use arch because it is the boring but stable system. Rolling release means you just keep updating it and it works forever rather than having to do big bang upgrades between LTS versions that always break something

      you can just choose to use software that isn’t dev/nightly versions, and you’re fine

      unless you want to see stuff break… then you install all of the nightly versions and have stuff break sometimes!

      Also, pkgbuildis by far the simplest package build system I’ve ever encountered. That’s why aur is so prolific, though troublesome

      I have installations reaching 10 years. It just works when you don’t have to worry about “upgrades”. Best choice of my life.
