Controversial opinion: you become a senior, when you let arch behind and use distros like debian.
I don’t dislike arch, going step by step through the install process is the best way learning and no matter which distro someone use, the arch wiki should be the first place to visit for instructions or help.
Debian is just as prone to breaking due to the lack of fallbacks (e.g. Snapper), it just doesn’t break as often because it doesn’t change as much as Arch.
If you use a minimal/ default install, this won’t happen as easily, but as soon as you customise anything, you get problems.
Arch can be reliable too, there are many people who have had the same install for years without breaking.
I would actually recommend Fedora Atomic or other image based distros, e.g. VanillaOS.
They can be more modern, while being way more reliable thanks to atomic updates/ transactions, complete image rollbacks and the reproducibility.
They are a dream to use imo!
This is the way. Everyone can use what satisfies them. My arch experience was good, too. But after tinkering confs and setups, I lost my spirit to become a Unixporn user.
Nowadays I want easy to use setups. That’s why I use debian for servers and fedora for clients. Last week I saved an old laptop from a friend before being e-waste. Fedora atomic was the chosen one and he is really happy with it so far.

Yeah at some point, you want to do work on your computer, not work on your computer.
A technology connections viewer I see
i mean i do both so…
I don’t know, I have had to fix more problems with supposedly “stable” distributions like Debian and co than I ever did with arch.
I disagree (a bit at least).

No, you move to Artix then.
