I haven't updated my Arch install for almost 2 months. Things are going to be... seemless, probably. I do this all the time. It never breaks.
The worst I did, a computer without turning it on and not being updated for 2 years. Long long ago. I think I even got a huge change, don't remember if it was a big kernel version or the change to systemd. It basically just worked and there was a single thing I had to do that was in the news page.
Arch works fine for those who know how to read.
I just updated. No issues this time. I just had to re-compile dump1090 and WSJT-X, but that's expected. Dependencies.
Well, looks like I forgot for another month, but 3 months was no problem either.
Last bug I had was a power management daemon bug in kde and it was fixed the next day. It was also a desktop so only brightness control was broken (whoop-de-do My brightness didn't work on a desktop).
Not to bad after 6 months from when I first switched from Windows.
