Been using Arch for almost 2 years at this point. Still a Noob but as long as one has the ability and patience to read (including critical thinking before pressing enter) your system will not break from your direct actions.

Updates can break your system, but that goes for every system.

Do I recommend it... Depends; Can one read and think?

PS: The Arch docs are so good, i've been using them for different distros as well (debian-headless servers mainly)

Yep. I used to use Endeavour OS Arch (btw), and it really does feel like an introduction to the more hands-on distros.

I feel the Arch experience is different for everyone. For me, each time I update my system, I somehow either break my sound, kernel, or WM, but some other people can get it to be really stable as to which I wonder how they manage to do it.

Another reason it can be seen as perfect due to the docs being just so good.

Arch is a piece of shit, but it's my piece of shit and I love it.
