    I haven’t had Arch break during an update, but I always check the home page first, there are absolutely times my system would have broken during a blind update.

    Arch doesn’t support blind updates - it explicitly tells you to always check the home page before an update in case “out-of-the-ordinary” user intervention is required. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/System_maintenance

    Basically, don’t run arch unless you’re willing to be a Linux system admin.

      Similar, but a little more involved, to Debian testing or unstable. Install apt-listbugs and when you go to upgrade it’ll let you know what issues are floating around. You can choose to work around the issue, or wait a day or two for the wrinkles to be ironed out.
