Earlier I commented about stablility, if you are runnin' vanilla arch, you shouldn't really have much of a problem with stablility, in fact, I think it is more stable because I get to choose if I want to upgrade any packages and even if the packages messes up something, I can always roll back and I knew what happened.

I'm an ubuntu user since the past 1 year. I actually started using linux because I wanted to use arch but was scared because of a lot people claiming that its pretty difficult and is not a beginner's choice. So yeah I'm kind of waiting for maybe 1 more year of using linux so that I can make a switch. By the way switching from windows to ubuntu was one of my best decisions. It's just so fast and smooth. And I can't wait to join the arch community, I'm just waiting that I can be more prepared for it. I've heard so much about it. And I'm surely gonna switch, just not now, but yeah soon.

I recommend using an Arch based distros such as Anarchy, endeavour, Archlabs, or Manjaro. Ubuntu is Debian based.
