I moved for the same reason. CentOS w/ 6-10 years of updates is probably a better recommendation for newer users. Any upgrade to the latest version is a real pain in pretty much every distro. Arch is great but sometimes new updates can interfere with workflow (it requires me to be very active monitoring changes).

You "CLICKED" on upgrade? And you call yourself a power user!

Why did you not type it into the CLI? If not a runlevel 3 perhaps with a tiling window manager.

I jest :-)

I am on Arch. FTW.

sudo pacman -Syu;
