Like Jay says https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytfohob38vM It really depends on what do you want to run on and including also how often you plan to upgrade dependencies. But being honest, Arch upgrades are transparent. For example I never got crashes or similar issues upgrading from Arch OS/Kernel dependencies in my daily basis desktop. The issues that I have only faced were with few dependencies coming from the AUR channel that I have installed on demand. So it's not a "crazy" idea to consider to give a try ArchLinux for server-side stuff. Not in 2020.

> I very much like the process of steadily keeping up to date bit by bit, instead of stagnating on a stable base and doing a big bang update every few years. I also like the fact that I don't need to know which version of which release am I going to get, it's always the latest one and it's the one that upstream released.

Yeah, that's also the motivation of this thread from my side. In fact, moving between majors for example has also "risks" to tackle (E.g CentOS 6 to 7 to 8). You know, things that you need to take time to evaluate and test. But in the other hand, having rolling release upgrades makes that headache disappears.

So IMO I believe the Arch rolling release approach will be the next way to upgrade our software on a non-distant future. It's time to try out and test ArchLinux on hot places like servers.
