The rolling release style is really great and Arch is rock solid

Truly don’t mean to be argumentative, but, I read all the time how an update will semi-brick it, requiring repair. ?

Happens every once in a while but usually it’s a trivial repair

Fair enough, but not sure I I'd classify that as "rock solid".

Also I'm assuming it's a "trivial repair" for those who are technically knowledgeable, but not so much for those who are not.

Well, I should have worded it better. Minor issues happen every once in a while, not semi-bricked systems. On my current installation of Endeavour (an Arch derivative) which is about 1 year old, the only thing that broke for maybe a few days was Steam when they rolled out their new UI, but I could work around that by using a command line argument which I found through simple googling - no technical knowledge required, at least not more than an average gamer would have. And the issue was solved with the next nvidia update.

Your mileage may vary of course, but for me I don't feel I've had more issues on Arch than other distros.

Fair enough. Thanks for replying.
