Im really curious as to why arch is always criticized for lack of reliability. Ive set up mine btw a long while ago, update it once a month if I remember and it just works™
Ive used debian previously and every second update left me with fucked up nvidia drivers and needing to boot to shell.
As an arch user and a German heavy main, this actually feels fair. Both are capable machines but neither are going to maintain themselves, both come with an entire manual you’re expected to read, and nobody will be sympathetic to you if you don’t know the basics of what you’re doing (rotate the steel box for fucks sake).
Beyond the initial setup, Arch has become quite easy to maintain if you have some Linux erperience, mostly because the community has grown a lot in the past few years. Still wouldn’t recommend it to a complete beginner in most cases.
Now, which fucking tank doesn’t require regular maintenance or come with instructions you’re expected to remember?
Some futuristic scifi-ish thing that is also a factory with a pocket dimension allowing you to easily morph/replicate it and pull previous versions from that pocket dimension if something went wrong… But the orders are given in some alien dialect, and from time to time you have to check how others have managed to convince it to do parts of the job you want and stitch together a solution while listening to it cursing at you cryptically
