      You will have a rolling release distribution similar to Arch, with the newest and freshest updates. However, it will be more stable than Arch because it undergoes thorough testing to ensure everything works fine. Additionally, there is a new tested stable update available almost every day. I recommend doing a little research about openSUSE Tumbleweed. It will help you stop distro hopping and allow you to focus more on productivity rather than fixing bugs (like with Arch).

        I have been running Manjaro(I know not arch) and have been happy with it. But I will definitely give tumbleweed a look. I like knowing I have the latest versions of things.

        I would advise against any rolling distro if you use Nvidia drivers and CUDA. When I was using Tumbleweed it kept breaking with kernel updates. This was common in the forums. I had to pin my kernel to an older version to fix it. It was not ideal.

        I’ve come full circle back to Debian stable. I’m sure at some point I’ll need a newer package and be frustrated again. When the time comes, perhaps I’ll try distrobox if I can’t easily backport it.

      well tested rolling, you literally have the arch update wall of terminal every week but it is a bit more stable with great tools like snapper should anything go a bit wrong
