I have used Arch Linux for the past 8 years. I've had 3 installations on four different laptops (I migrated one installation to a second laptop).

Your comment would be a really great description of my experience.

Same here. I really don't understand why it has a reputation for instability. I use it on my home server.

With Arch, I've had several times on separate machines when after updating I have had to mess around with recovery stuff, manually boot and reinstall grub or whatever.

I really don't need cutting edge packages, so I don't use it any more, but I understand why people would want a lean system by default.

I've used Arch for the better part of the last decade and agree with this assessment as well.
