Arch is incredibly stable. The old meme about it needing constant attention hasn’t been true for at least a decade now.
I still wouldn’t recommend it for business. Even when stable, the Arch philosophy is to empower the end user, whereas other distros like Ubuntu/RHEL are focused on getting stuff done. In 90% of situations the difference is immaterial. But if my client is angry and my boss is breathing down my neck, and I can’t work because a thing isn’t thing-a’lating, a support path is essential.
Arch is still stable enough for that. The chances of something going sideways is smaller on Arch than on Windows. And unless you’re a medium to large company paying Microsoft for enterprise support, you’re going to be stuck with forums for community help with Windows.
Saying the chance of something going sideways is smaller than on Windows isn’t saying much. I’ll pick a distro that’s stable by default, TYVM.
True. I’ll grant you that.
Arch isn’t “unstable” by any means. I’ve been running
ArchEndeavourOS as my desktop distro that I develop on for years and it’s entirely reliable. Now I personally wouldn’t run Arch on any of my distros (I go with either Debian or NixOS), but there are people who do it and it works fine.Edit: I said “Arch” but I meant EndeavourOS, which is Arch with some QoL improvements.
