It's bleeding edge. I haven't faced any probem till now but some face stability issues.
But personally I haven't faced any issues.

Probably the usual: things might break more often, but would also trend to be fixed more quickly. Your system might be fine, but folks would probably advise you to keep a different version/distro handy in c just in case you one day find that you're experiencing a minor issue such as being unable to get online (to download that new fix for broken connectivity)... or to boot.
Sounds like fun. Well... most of the time .

thanx guys.
The reason I asked is, I know that arch itself is already as bleeding edge as it gets, and there are supposed to be stability issues fom time to time (even according to arch wiki).
So if stable arch is bleeding, then I thought that testing is more like experimental lol

Debian developers don't feel that wireless drivers belong on a stable system, lol? I hear jokes about it, but that one is priceless.

And as a side note I find it thus far the most intuitve DE of the lot I've tried, and it lighter than most too! :D

openSUSE 13.1 which will become their Evergreen or LTS release. I've used Xfce on three different laptops, all ASUS: 701 4G, 1015PEM and currently a U36SG-AS71 which will be two years old next month. I think I've used Xfce on almost every Linux distro, um, but not Arch, no, not Arch.
