I’m using Arch Linux for 2 years. I subscribed to Arch’s mailing lists and I check my mails daily. I use flatpak instead of AUR.
I installed my system with archinstall and I update whenever I want. I didn’t have any issues yet and it’s the only distro that just works for me.
What about your experience? Any “breakage”?
I suspect a lot of “breakages” were failed pacman updates due to signing issues, before pacman knew to update arch-keyring first. I know one person who moved to another distro when that happened.
Does it know even today? Sometimes I still need to
pacman -Sy archlinux-keyringbefore I can update all packages.deleted by creator
It does, but sometimes if the system is really out of date I have to update arch-keyring before the rest of the packages
