It does look like getting Arch Linux configured the way I need it is going

environment (heavily modified keyboard shortcuts etc...) every 6 months or
so just to keep up to date, then I figure it'll be more than worth the effort.
Welcome aboard and glad you're getting things sorted out. Once you
have used a rolling release distro, everything else just seems silly.
Reinstall every six months? No thanks!

When I hear about issues people run into when upgrading to, say, the
latest version of Ubuntu, my thinking is usually some combination of:
1) "What's an OS upgrade?"
2) "What's an OS version?"
3) "If you were running Arch, you wouldn't be running into so many bugs
on upgrade ... because you'd never wind up upgrading so many packages
all at the same time."
4) "You're still running into *that* bug? That was fixed in Arch
*months* ago!"
It's so much fun to be a smug Arch user.
