I have always been afraid to install Arch because they tell you it is difficult to install and unstable. I want a simple system following the KISS philosophy and install only what I need, which is little. I don't need anything from the aur repository, for now. Just a year ago I installed Arch and there it is, no problems and doing every day pacman -Syu. It has been a real discovery for me, it's the only distribution I've had this last year that hasn't crashed. I didn't expect it, but Arch has made me change my opinion and pay less attention to the opinions of "youtubers" and more to my own experience. In your experience of use, has Arch been stable in its operation?

Arch has been the least problematic distribution for me, by far. Anything that was ever broken was a result of me breaking it, which was also subsequently fixed by me, because people documented just about everything in the wiki by now.

One of my 3 installations is currently just under 8 years old. It’s only needed manual intervention, as a result of a regular update, like 3 times total
