If you can follow directions and only follow from arch wiki...it's actually much easier than everyone says and pacman is wonderful and super fast...even large updates take mere minutes.
Also, insofar as things "breaking" after updates that's mostly hyperbole, especially for a casual user.
A real challenge (skill and patience) would be Gentoo! But again, with following directions it's doable
