Try arch and you'll never distro hop again

I can't confirm that (I distro hopped to NixOS) I can confirm that Arch is a solid distro worth learning and will give you the skills to manage it long-term. Compared to Arch based distros like Manjaro, EndeavorOS and Garuda where people tend to screw up their install easily when installing the wrong packages from the AUR and updating with dependency conflicts.

I tried manjaro, it was a total mess after a few days of setting it up. Decided to just nuke it and go with arch and I've never looked back. Been 5 years now :)

Tried to reconfigure some systemd services, switched to Artix (runit flavored btw)

Artix is definitely better than Arch. (using dinit flavor btw)
