When I used Arch I updated once and it removed the running kernel and its modules. So when I plugged in a webcam it didn't work, since the module was gone.

Not a catastrophe, but it was an off-putting user experience coming from Debian. Arch felt more like a desktop OS, Debian feels more like a server OS to me (updates generally warn/confirm when you need to restart services or the machine).

To each their own! Having more up to date stuff was a nice perk of running Arch, certainly.

Debian and Fedora are solid on the desktop

Oh I love Debian on the desktop! More a comment on the feeling of the OS being very concerned about downtime and stability, with minimal "surprises." Not a bad thing at all!
