As an arch user myself, I have to agree. This is eerily true. I love and hate arch for what it is. Just don't leave your laptop in the closet without updating it every few months. It's pretty certain that you have to reinstall arch if you wait too long.
This is how not to use Arch.. Update at least once a month, or if not maybe at least twice a month. If you can't handle the updates on Arch then consider switching to something like Debian....
"Guys, Arch isn't unstable, you just can't handle Arch if you don't treat it a specific way"
All Linux distros are kinda the same really.
By that logic, is not updating for several months incorrect behaviour?
If so, that would be quite problematic, since even other rolling distros like Tumbleweed don't have this problem.
It's not like I cannot handle the updates. I really love arch for its flexibility, and with that come bleeding edge updates. Fedora is the next best thing but I'm definitely not as experienced there and it's quite often lacking packages that arch does provide, either via its mirrors or the AUR
