Before Arch I used Fedora for 7 years. I found Fedora far more stable than Arch when upgrading to a new Fedora version 3 months after release when most bugs have been fixed. With Arch there is always something that does not work properly and then days or weeks later it starts working again. It is not Arch's fault, rather it results from its KISS principle of making minimal or no changes to upstream packages so you get all the issues from upstream. Fedora does lots of patching and updates things less often so it is more stable than Arch.
My suggestion is that if you are looking for reliability to use Debian Stable which has a big choice of packages and it stable, or else Fedora which is in between Debian Stable and Arch with respect to up-to-date packages and stability. Arch might not be the best distro for you. My €0.02.
I kind of disagree, I think that the KISS, no-magic approach of arch is perfect for visually impaired or blind power users like Jude. However, maybe you should consider using the LTS kernel, packages as linux- lts? I have it installed and boot into it every ~4 years when something critical like wifi breaks. The LTS kernel has never broken for me, you might have a better experience with that. Cheers, Bennett
