So technical question... (infosec.pub)

I have been using Linux for a few years, usually some flavor of Debian. But recently I acquired an older Thinkpad and thought it would behoove me to use something more... involved.
So I chose to dive into Manjaro and only broke pacman once. So now the question... can I say I'm using Arch btw or is that a faux pas?

How long is to long? I've been running the same arch install for a few years and wondering if it supposed to be time for a reinstall?

*I also have backups of all my configs and read the arch news before updating so I'm not really that worried.

Are you not updating it regularly? They said, "Don't update for long enough..."

...oh, yeah I miss read that. I took it as don't use arch for to long without reinstalling rather than don't not update for too long. I update about once a week.
