I love CachyOS but you need to be a certain kind of nerd who can handle updates breaking stuff. Or more importantly, willing to RTFM and prevent a lot of it.

Basically I need to read these two sites before I update:

https://archlinux.org/news/

https://cachyos.org/blog/

Rule of thumb is to not update constantly/daily. Nor should you update too seldomly. Weekly or monthly is the usual. If that sounds like a PITA then yeah, that's why it's not recommended.

Monthly might be too long to not fuck an Arch update, from my previous experience.
