Cannot relate to that. I modify the crap out of my Arch install and keep it in perfect condition all the time.
7 years strong here with only 1 reinstall to switch to 64 bit
Same as my Windows installs.
2 reinstalls now* I had to upgrade my NVME drive and the old one shit the bed while I was moving data, so everything on this system is fresh now.... At least I keep the important stuff backed up in git haha
I was definitely scared if Arch before trying it. Seemed like the general consensus was that it wasn't a matter of if Arch would break, but when. I heard that updating everything will eventually break the system. Well, I figured, I'd like to try it just to see. I haven't had a single problem and it's the setup I'm most proud of l, having spent the most amount of time building it up to exactly how I like it.
