You know when you have an issue with your Linux so you air it on a public forum and are overrun with useless comments that you should switch to Arch because it's so much better and you're stupid if you don't?
Yeah.
Is Arch really that popular nowadays?
I mainly know it from the colleague who switched to it back in 2006, and then we made fun of him over the next year for all the stuff that was broken on his system, and worked on ours. He only was let off because a new hire went for Gentoo, and had stuff even more broken.
Arch is great these days, and in my own experience rarely breaks just due to updates if you set it up correctly.
But unless you're willing to configure a lot of stuff to your own liking, it's probably best to use some other, more mainstream distro.
