That's a fair point, but I think the definition of "breaking" tends to correlate with experience.
There are certain things that will "break" in Arch that are trivial to fix for me now, but were a real pain when I first started using it (GPG key errors come to mind).
Even things like the Grub issue from around a year ago -- that's something I could probably fix with a little reading now, but at the time I just ended up re-installing.
Fair. I used Arch when I was already quite familiar with Linux, so I really didn't have any issues. I would just read the update notes before running updates, and the only one that gave me trouble was the switch to systemd some 5-10 years ago.
I have since switched to Tumbleweed because I wanted my server and desktop to use the same tools, but I want my server to run stable Linux. I use Leap on my servers and I'll probably switch my server to MicroOS one of these days.
So far, Tumbleweed has been less of a pain than Arch, but that doesn't mean Arch was unstable, it just required a little hand holding from time to time.
