    Ive never had my DE uninstall after an arch update. Genuinely had no idea that was a problem for anyone until i saw that meme

                I work in a stem center as a computer science tutor and it has happened to myself as well as a tutee and a fellow tutor. We all moved because keeping up with a rolling release gets tiring when you have projects with deadlines. They call it the bleeding edge because it has a tendency to cut you.

                I still love arch and there’s parts of it I miss. Fedora just has a tendency to break less often.

                  Maybe it’s just ubuntu being bad, but I’ve had way fewer issues on arch after switching to it. I had like 4 issues where my pc just wouldn’t boot in the 3 years I was running Ubuntu, and I’ve had I think 1 in 4 years on arch.

                  Granted I’ve gotten more comfortable with linux in that time and have gotten better at fixing problems.

            That’s why I switched to Arch. Every stack overflow article to fix little problems with sound or screen tearing or whatever was a 1 line fix for arch or 4 to 6 lines for Ubuntu.
