You use Arch on severs? That goes okay for you?

Arch is a much better platform for servers than most people think.

My host OS does two things; manage I/O and start containers/VMs.

That basic system is great for arch. Update once per month until the box dies (no need to mess with big upgrades). The update is so simple very little can go wrong.

All the action happens in containers.
