    I work in a stem center as a computer science tutor and it has happened to myself as well as a tutee and a fellow tutor. We all moved because keeping up with a rolling release gets tiring when you have projects with deadlines. They call it the bleeding edge because it has a tendency to cut you.

    I still love arch and there’s parts of it I miss. Fedora just has a tendency to break less often.

      Maybe it’s just ubuntu being bad, but I’ve had way fewer issues on arch after switching to it. I had like 4 issues where my pc just wouldn’t boot in the 3 years I was running Ubuntu, and I’ve had I think 1 in 4 years on arch.

      Granted I’ve gotten more comfortable with linux in that time and have gotten better at fixing problems.

        yeah I’ve had a lot of problems with ubuntu. our arch problems mostly stem from an update breaking compatibility for tools we use for things like the oscilloscopes in labs. fedora just works most of the time though
