whilst i came up with an entirely different outcome [i would never ever choose the windoze of penguins, ugh, & i am not a gamer, so care nada about any of that associated crap], some of his thinking matches mine
https://www.howtogeek.com/after-5-years-of-using-arch-linux-i-quit/
though i still have :archlinux: installed on my main pooter's sda, & whilst it is still very reliable for me, the friction from the routine maintenance [he listed some of the items / actions, but there's others too] has been a bit of a drag for me for some years now, plus the ongoing #AUR attacks necessitate a perpetually heightened defensive posture that's tiring, & to which i chose eventually to respond to by replacing most of my AUR pkgs with #flatpak or #distrobox ones, or in several cases nothing at all [ie, i chose to just abandon some apps altogether].
so for a couple of months now [after more than a year in various VMs], my delightful daily penguin is the immutable atomic alpha :kde: :linux:, on sdc. it is really pleasant to use, albeit ofc i needed to adjust several of my workflows to accommodate its RO base.
my sdb remains largely empty atm, but once it reaches Beta i hope to install :opensuse: kalpa here
unfortunately my old 2011 Dell xps-15 lappy is "stuck" with Arch, coz it only has bios not uefi boot, which eliminates both of those atomics, alas
