I hear this a lot every time arch is mentioned.

So I decided to actually write down every time my arch install stopped working. I only managed to continue doing so for a couple of months and it's only representative of my pc so take it with the usual grain of salt. I usually run pacman -Syu every day.

That being said in 2 months I had these problems:

05/10/2013 Slim changed the xsession name, I had to edit manually slim.conf

14/10/2013 linux-ck kernel upgrade broke xorg so I had to downgrade until it was fixed

29/10/2013 xmobar template had to be slightly modified

02/11/2013 Calibre didn't start, imagemagik was broken, had to downgrade until it was fixed

So 4 problems in 2 months. I'm sure I didn't write down everything since it was a little tedious.

Would i recommend you use it on a production server? Is the time you spend on paying attention worth it? I haven't the foggiest.
