    Arch ships to new of packages for my comfort. This leads to breakages if you don’t read the update notes. I want my system to stay updated automatically and Arch causes to many headaches.

      Software updates can potentially cause issues in general. This situation is not unique to Arch.

      There’s nothing wrong with a rolling release model where you get newer software that’s closer to upstream. In most cases, you get security updates faster and in some instances you get bug fixes & new features from upstream that will take weeks if not months to hit “stable” distros.

        That’s fine if you like that kind of thing. However it isn’t for everyone

      Arch ships to too new of packages for my comfort.

      Sorry to be a grammar nazi but that’s the second time and it annoys some of us. It’s literally a different word with a different meaning!
