I liked it the last time around. My issue was updates causing breakages. That was a couple years back. It seems to be better now. I'll keep it around for a bit longer.

You kept pretty quiet during the Arch interview, so I thought you might have hated it and was keeping tactfully quiet.

Maybe you have me confused for Allan or Linc? I asked a bunch of questions.

Sorry - you asked most of the questions. You were just quiet about your own recent experiences with Arch.

Nothing. It continues to be fast and stable (at least for me, never had any breaks after upgrade) Linux distribution.
Personally I don't think there's much changed over the years. Just evolutional improvements here and there. And rolling releases are IMHO a nice way to produce a up-to-date distribution. Yeah, I like Arch.

I like Arch Linux and their approach. I like pacman, it's up there with apt-get. While Arch may not be for everyone any serious Linux user should at least check it out. I still predominantly run/use Ubuntu/Debian but I'll definitely keep Arch around in some capacity.
