Arch doesn’t “break” you are doing shit you have no clue about which in turn creates problems, which you then have to fix. Still if you plainly install and update it, I doubt you will notice much difference from an Arch install compared to any other distro.
Arch teaches you about the inner workings of Linux. Mostly because it breaks all the time and you have to fix it.
Not using Arch anymore, but what I remember it specifically doesn’t break all the time and runs much better than many other distros.
Before systemd integration it was kind of bad, but it has been such a solid platform since then. Even the Steam Deck uses it.
I think the criticism is how you need to read a manual to install it. For many, that is part of the fun.

I have 5 computers with Arch (iMac, 2 macBooks, new Asus and ooooold storage box). How long it takes for something to break up?
