The best thing is the ease with which you can install packages. Yay or pacman.

But one thing, while upgrading to a new kernel branch one has to take backup of the files. What if on reboot you see the shell login and not the desktop. Things become difficult then. I am running two arch variants in my laptop. Garuda linux and archo.

Yep! thanks for the reminder! I should back up my things just in case.
