Arch's rolling release model actually seems quite reliable in terms of stability—handling all updates at once with `pacman -Syu` instead of dealing with constant patches feels cleaner. To maintain stability, you can also try tools like `checkupdates` and `rankmirrors` from the `pacman-contrib` package; they minimize manual intervention. Is the biggest hassle usually just restarting services?
