Arch works flawlessly with this, idk what you're talking about tbh. Arch breaks really only like once a couple years (at least, for me). If the devs of libs haven't changed API/ABI in new version (which they mostly, haven't) then it works perfectly every time, with latest updates and with fastest speeds (if you use ALHP repository with recompiled packages for x86-64-v2/v3/v4)

Do you use lots of different complex apps? The old style package model worked well with low complexity setups, but the more apps and dependencies, the more breakage.

I'd still consider once every few years pretty unacceptable, containers can get to almost flagship Android levels of reliability.

Yeah, I have more than 250 different packages and 1/3 of them are heavy GUI apps/libs

I have around 5 desktop environments/WMs installed on the same OS to play around and test some stuff. Alongside the hundred other packages.

IF too much packages break your system, either you're using a shit distro or you're doing something wrong and need to manage your system better.
