If your Arch breaks down it's likely any rolling release distro will also, because it means you're likely not doing part of the maintenance a rolling release needs, such as ensuring the config files you've changed get properly updated.

Any rolling release distro is unstable, because unstable doesn't mean what you think it means, it means that any library can be updated.

ok thanks for correcting my mistake and I'm sure arch isn't impossible to use just a little bit tinky

That's a fair point, but I think the definition of "breaking" tends to correlate with experience.

There are certain things that will "break" in Arch that are trivial to fix for me now, but were a real pain when I first started using it (GPG key errors come to mind).

Even things like the Grub issue from around a year ago -- that's something I could probably fix with a little reading now, but at the time I just ended up re-installing.

Fair. I used Arch when I was already quite familiar with Linux, so I really didn't have any issues. I would just read the update notes before running updates, and the only one that gave me trouble was the switch to systemd some 5-10 years ago.

I have since switched to Tumbleweed because I wanted my server and desktop to use the same tools, but I want my server to run stable Linux. I use Leap on my servers and I'll probably switch my server to MicroOS one of these days.

So far, Tumbleweed has been less of a pain than Arch, but that doesn't mean Arch was unstable, it just required a little hand holding from time to time.
