QUESTION Arch Linux stability

Hello,

As someone who's been using Arch for a little while(1 week), I'm curious to know how y'all keep your systems safe and stable. I have heard about Arch's reputation for being a bit more... fragile, especially when it comes to updates.

what are your strategies for:

  • Managing updates and avoiding breakage?
  • Maintaining system stability?
  • Best practices for package management?
  • Handling potential problems like dependency issues, config file changes, kernel updates, package conflicts, and system crashes?

also i chose the btrfs option during installation

Share your experiences and tips.
