I been on these forums for a good 1.5 years, but umm, I wanted to go the Arch way halfway in. I got too many problems that no one can answer. Endeavour forums, KDE forums, etc. Weird, I know.
I want to go back home to my roots, and the Debian I knew since Squeeze. I don't need the latest and greatest to be happy. A little more than Stable is fine with me. I'm not a hard gamer or video developer.
So, Hi again? :D
(This will go on my next computer that I will build next month)

I have been distrohoper for years. I have tested almost everything and used some of them for months(including Arch). Updating Arch after passed a week or more than a week, can produce unpleasant experience. Never experienced a similar situation with Debian testing distro, updating it after more than a month period.
My friendly advice. Stay with Debian or Debian based distros (even based in test repos...SPARKYLINUX is highly suggested). Actually i have 6 distros in my small HP 2170P (SparkyLinux-rolling,MX Linux,Geco Linux (OpenSUSE -Slowroll),Lubuntu,Spiral Linux and Kali Linux.

I have been as well. I never liked Ubuntu or its variables with the way Canonical is going.
I used Sparky in the past, so I know what's up with it. I just needed a change to Arch. But now it's like, what are all these daily updates? Do I need them? No.

I have installed SparkyLinux(rolling one) in 2 laptops. In my small HP2170p i do updates very regularly.Each day.In the other one I do when i sign in on it.Sometimes in 2 or 3 weeks or maybe more. I never had problems with the second one. The only problem is when you decide to update less frequently the updates can be a lot(in that case you may need a fast speed internet line to update shortly). Try to update once in 2 or 3 days. Does not hurt if you do it every day.
Would be a clever way to back up SparkyLinux frequently, to have a backup if something happens.I prefer to back up SparkyLinux from another linux system. (I use qt-fsarchiver from my MxLinux).Anyway there are other possibilities to backup and restore.
if you install sparky on btrfs file system, which creates subvolumes of root and home (if so), you can backup whole partitions using timeshift and restore theme if any problem.
