Using the same Arch Linux installation for a decade
I recently switched to an arch flavor because the AUR had a lot of little small utilities that make life better on wayland.  Also, it's quite easy to install the latest version of golang and rust, etc.<p>Pros: 
Documentation is excellent.  Better than even Gentoo or Ubuntu's docs.<p>Cons:  
Arch doesn't have an installer, and seems almost militantly against providing one, or a lot of other little utilities that could improve the user experience.  I get the same sort of 'I suffered, therefore you must suffer, learn to RTFM noob' elitism that I saw with slackware 20 years ago.  I'm a grizzled vet, I can figure this stuff out, but it doesn't help your average technically literate joe.<p>Updates seem to break for odd reasons.  I had to uninstall nodejs to be able to do a system update.  Why?  There should be some sort of automated way to address this.
