I've been daily-driving Arch for two years now, and I've only seen it break a handful of times. And since I set it up using the command line tools, I knew which ones to use to fix it.

Arch lets me engage with the open-source community directly and get fixes to issues faster than more curated OSes like Ubuntu. I have access to more diagnostic information and tools that what Windows provides. And privacy and freedom isn't compromised like on MacOS.

Also, it's gotten really good for games. It plays pretty much everything I've wanted to play, from Stellaris, Cyberpunk 2077, and Humankind.

So, sometimes opinions need updates.
