Yes that's true. With any other distro you will have some issues, 
sooner or later. I know that very well. But, from the other side, 
let's say if I have an issue with Arch I can't fix at all, what's the 
function using it at all? Just like for example, right now my PHP 
isn't working. And if I will not be able to fix it at all, shall I 
wait for next Syu to get it working or I'll spend all the time, in 
the meantime, until next Syu fixing this PHP to work again? :)
I have some other things to do in my life than only reading, learning 
and fixing things with OS.
Maybe David is right. Use Ubuntu :) I just don't like it. Maybe 
KUbuntu :P
