    I just don’t understand what problems you think you’re saving yourself from. If the latest version of a package has a bug or just doesn’t work for some reason, just install an older one. It takes 2 minutes, and you get to use software from this decade with modern features.

      I didn’t mention any problems I don’t have. I just don’t waste time on updates I don’t need. I already have the older one, and it works just fine. (Now and then I hear of a new version that’s better, and switch to it.)

      Besides, we both know that sometimes updating Linux software does create problems … which is proven by the existence of Arch Wiki … and Debian stable … or force us to relearn some ‘improved’ features (prime example: KDE’s ‘Kate’ editor.) And don’t get me started on Gnome.

      Anyway … so long as you’re enjoying yourself with Arch, good for you.
