This is very true. Once you get used to the Arch model: everything up to date, no big release upgrades, AUR, everything else seems inferior.https://twitter.com/burntsushi5/status/1222225990728003587 …

I really dislike the Arch packaging style. Feels ad hoc, unorganized and cluttered. After being on rolling releases a while I've really come to appreciate stability over rolling, especially when working. Besides, to get benefit of rolling you often need to reboot

My understanding is that arch developers build package binaries in their own machines, that is a malware injection problem waiting to happen if true.

I haven't a clue these days. Just what I remember as the overarching (ha!) impression. Though I did try install Manjaro Gnome a few weeks ago and that was a freaking disaster of packages. Arch is like a browser full of toolbars.

Wow I really don’t get the dislike of the packaging. To me it makes a lot of sense: they package stuff as upstream publish it. No breaking it up into tiny sub-packages, no separate dev packages.
as I said, each to their own.
