Is Arch as unstable as people telling about it? I'm thinking

Yes Manjaro is the only semi-stable version of arch. However I highly recommend Sabayon and Korora.

Then install Debian testing with pinning. 900 testing and 300 unstable so you can pull packages you need from unstable.

apt-get -t unstable install <package>

I won't get problems with dependences?

>>58061505
Thanks, I'll check mostly Sabayon

Arch hasn't been unstable for me OP

had it installed months and no issues. I am waiting for kernel 4.9 though. they need to hop on that already

>>58061470
i've had less trouble keeping arch up to date than i did ubuntu, if that helps

I've had less problems on arch than with Debian or Ubuntu.

I'm on Ubuntu right now and every day I want to just wipe it and put arch back on

>arch
>unstable

stop falling for Rajit Singh's memes.

The ONLY time I've ever had an issue with Arch, was on a laptop. Something in an update changed something and tap to click stopped working. Unless you're planning on using the Testing repos, Arch is as stable as anything else. There's no voodoo involved, Linux is Linux.

Arch isn't unstable. Nothing has been broken on Arch for me ever.
Debian goes a bit too far with the stability. It's perfectly reasonable to use the testing repositories

>>58061470
I've been using Arch for a couple years now. No problems whatsoever.

>>58061928
If you don't want to use testing repository permanently you can just do
>enable testing repository
>sudo pacman -S linux linux-headers
>disable testing repository

>>58061470
I'm updating to testing right now. Arch sucks. Don't do it.

Or at least try it in a VM first.

>>58061637
Probably not.

>>58061470
>Is Arch as unstable as people telling about it?
Absolutely not

>>58061637
No. Aptitude will take care of it. If any problems happen you will be given several options to resolve them during installation.

The opposite is my experience. Xubuntu is solid as a rock and it's been running for 6 years with no issues. Arch usually fucks up grub and efi after a system upgrade on my laptop. Sabayon is the perfect compromise only downside is no built in .deb installer.

>>58061470
No, Arch instability is a meme.
I've had more problems with fucking ubuntu and that's supposed to be the easy newfag distro for people who came from win/mac.
