I’ve been using Arch for over a decade now. On a laptop, desktop, VPS and now it’s also driving Steam OS on the Deck. I had very little problems with it compared to our Ubuntu setups at work that randomly break on updates. Ubuntu is not as bad as it used to be but from my experience (i.e. the way I use it), Arch has been more stable and reliable.

I have also had issues with Ubuntu. I just stick with Debian because I don’t have to touch it for years.
Can you do the same with Arch? Also why do you need newer packages on a server? (I’m taking about the VPS)
