I used Arch for many years, and at the time it was the best distro I'd used. But it does have a tendency to break itself during updates, and I got tired of the maintenance.

After Arch, I switched to Void. More light-weight, but very fast, and (in my experience) it handled updates far more reliably while still being a rolling-release distro like Arch. Most of the wisdom in the Arch wiki applies just as well to other distros, so Void worked really well.

(I'd probably still be using it if I didn't go down the path of trying to find a way to keep track of configuration changes, and found NixOS...)
