ArchLinux has been very stable for me, as long as I did not choose BTRFS as my filesystem during the install process.

I did have a few problems with the major overhaul of KDE, but I super enjoy the new look and feel. I'm not sure if Arch being a rolling release allowed me to have the latest KDE faster, but I'm glad I have it.

I have similar experiences, have been using it for a year now, works ... fine.

Nothing broke, seems stable.

I can go weeks, dozens of sleep cycles and never see a hint of instability with my Arch daily driver. It only needs a reboot after update and didn't even ask for it.

My windows computer (work, 2025 lenovo, fresh install) can't make it an hour without explorer crashing. They also fucked up task manager... The latest new bug is right and left click getting swapped requiring a reboot. I never imagined that was even possible.

What problems have you had with btrfs? None here for years.
