Been running Arch for probably ten years now, or soon, too. It’s no work to maintain. Just run the package manager update command and let her rip. Check what packages are updating. If it seems like something you don’t know or understand, or something system critical, check the website if something manual needs to be done.

It’s honestly no more work than any other distro. More like less work, because the system is improving at a faster rate than more “stable”/stale distros. And I don’t remember how many times I had to reinstall Ubuntu when I was running it. The system upgrade just not finishing as it should for whatever reason.

Happily using a system that doesn’t run out of space unless I make it so. That does my bidding rather than some company’s.

Keep feeding the penguin, folks. 👌
