Hot take: I used arch for over a decade. It never broke unless I broke it.

By all means, back up your files but rolling release distros aren't made of arsenic, you'll be fine.

    I think it's very much dependent on your hardware.

    I had some issues with my Nvidia drivers getting messed up when the card was relatively new. I haven't had any issues in the past two years though.

    I know people who've driven drunk for more than a decade, and only crashed when they were sober. Does that mean drinking and driving is safe?

    I literally had one of my devices fail to boot after an update pretty much every month, and another a few times a year. Sure, I was able to fix it with only arch-chroot, but when I switched to btrfs I didn't need to carry around a flash drive with me when updating the system...

    The last few years I'm on nixos, and while it sometimes fails to update, it has not once failed to boot.
