"...means things break often..."

Citation needed. I can provide some anecdotal evidence to the contrary; I've been running Arch both privately and professionally now for about 15 years and sure there were some issues initially but the last decade or so I've been updating my systems fearlessly on a regular basis.

I've only been running arch on my laptop for a year, and it hasn't broken once, unlike Ubuntu which I constantly had issues with.
