I had so many problems and had to constantly manage other distros before Arch that it was a lot of anxiety. Everytime new release of popular linux distro I knew it was gonna break if I tried to upgrade. Almost centrainly. For fear of that I had frankstein monster distro for work using lts version full of weird ppas with a more recent kernel and some more recent software that I need because everything was always old all the time. It was horrible to maintain and keep working.
Arch is just simpler, easier and much more stable. It’s just pacman -Syu all the time, have fresh software, recent kernels for the hardware improvements which is extremely important for when you buy new laptop and overall never crashes. It’s just a matter of reading the news, sometimes change a config that got deprecated, or replace some software that got abandoned or now there’s better alternative, etc. Sometimes things get some regressions for some weeks until things are bug reported and fixed upstream and eventually reach the system, but that’s waiting some weeks or rarely months. There’s always alternative to get involved in helping fix the problems with bug reports and patches if needed, but that’s extremely rare and only if you really are desperate.
Anyway, those problems were much worse on other “stable” distros, because if there’s something seriously wrong on the system you are only lucky to get fixes after a major release which may happen only once a year.
If the system is really critical and cannot fail me during work week I delay updating to the weekend sometimes. Even if I need to it’s just a matter of evaluating the risk. You do pacman -syu and see what’s comming. If it’s just some apps updating then it’s ok to do it. If it’s core system stuff like kernel, systemd, dbus, graphics drivers, maybe I’ll avoid it.
Overall it’s simpler and easier because there’s really only 1 or 2 things to keep in mind and all the rest just falls into place.
Using archlinux for more than 15 years on personal machines and maybe 5+ years on work computers.

Never thought about using that, but yeah, even base 8 makes sense.
I seem to remember from one episode on History channel of the aliens or something that somewhere the 12 base counting was used and made sense because you count with your thumb the inner parts of your fingers whete each has 3 parts.

Wait a few more years. The continent is coming back to life now that’s it’s defrosting at an alarming speed and spring is coming to some areas already there.
Miss the times of downloading a mp3 by leaving the pc turned on the whole night.

Typical holywood and their sequels. Just pray they don’t remember to retrofit a prequel in there.
