Out of curiosity, what time investment is required for maintaining an Arch install?

I've been using Arch for the past decade and other than the turbulence when switching over to systemd, I don't do anything other than `pacman -Syu` and can only recall exactly one time where the system broke and it was because mkinitpcio failed to run after updating a kernel and was fixed by chrooting into my system and rerunning it.

I often had more issues with Debian or other distros because of having to fight the system to install packages that were built within the past year.
