After using Archlinux for a weak I just give up.. There are so many annoying bugs.. Not system breaking bugs but little annoying bugs which drive me insane. First virt-manager was not working while using Virtio-GPU drivers and now blender showing a missing library error..
No wonder why Arch is called an unstable distro. Rolling release distros not cool for a consistent environment.
I am going back to my old arrangement which was Debian+Backports+Flatpaks

I used Manjaro; Garuda; and Solus for years each without much in the way of issues. I think Rolling release distros can be good if they have a little more oversight. That being said I am typing this from a Trisquel 11 system so I obviously can enjoy point release distros as well.
Exactly! This barely ever happens to me with Void. I never doubt doing "xbps-install -Su" every time I get to use a computer that I haven't updated for a few days, there were few times when it gave be troubles — but every time it turned out to be my own fault, e.g. some package built locally doesn't get updated as it has higher priority.
With Gentoo it was an everyday experience: you update, something that should be rebuilt doesn't, something important starts segfaulting, you run it in gdb to find out — rebuild that, rinse, repeat… I will never use Gentoo ever again
