Unironically my most headache-free Linux experience in 10+ years. The handful of times an update doesn't go through you just need to visit the homepage and follow the manual intervention steps outlined in the announcement.

At least, once I freed myself from Nvidia x)

    I know CachyOS, at least, shows recent Arch announcements during the update process before installing anything. Unfortunately there's been a recurring DDoS attack on Arch's servers for months, so this check tends to fail and you aren't always notified of breaking changes.

    I cannot count the number of times Debian Upgrade broke on me. My memory tells me I had issues with all upgrades (on various machines with mostly defaults) since Debian 8. It’s 13 now. I did follow the correct upgrade process and quite familiar with it, yet every single time I had issues at least for some of the desktops of my elder relatives and friends that I managed. Arch was just stable. And manual intervention is usually needed only if you have this particular thing installed. So, quite seldom. For servers, I think that was much better for me, but now I’m either Arch or Fedora (for situations where I don’t bother with setting my personal environment).
