[mythtv-users] Backend OS - opinions on Archlinux

[George Galt]

Yes, don't get me started on the switch to systemd in Arch!!  It took me
forever to sort it out.  Fortunately, I only use Arch on a few low-power
machines (including my RaspberryPi) that aren't critical.  I agree that
rolling releases have their good points -- and I certainly love Arch, if
only because I have learned more about Linux from it than from almost any
other source -- but I wouldn't use it on a mission-critical piece of
hardware.
