I have been an Arch user for about 6 months now. jumped the ship from Gentoo. Since I like to stay bleeding-edge, on Gentoo that meant often-broken packages that took a lot of time to fix. Arch has been very smooth till now, despite my using a lot of AUR packages.

Arch user here. The great thing with a rolling release is that when something breaks there is usually a lot of people trying to solve the exact same problem at the same time. I think I learn a lot in problem solving because of that since I switch to Arch! And now every bug is a fun thing that almost never last long, you must be quick if you want to be the first to write the patch who will solve it!
