I switched from arch to opensuse tumbleweed, and even though I really like opensuse, arch was so much simpler to maintain, pacman is so much better than zypper. I disliked arch until I gave it a real try, but even though I’ve moved on for now on my main computer, arch is stil a really good distribution if you know how to set it up

You might want to have a look at endeavouros if you consider coming back. It does a lot of the heavy lifting for you. I’ve got arch, manjaro, antergos in my background as far as arch-based distros I’ve tried over the years, and have not had major problems with any of them, but endeavouros is an easy install with some conservative defaults. I had only a couple things to add on afterward to get it just how I wanted, you have a fair bit of control at install time, and once installed it’s just like maintaining an arch system.

No I have no trouble using arch and I still use it on my laptop, I just like opensuse because it’s fun so I use that on my main computer now

No worries. For me, the the fun of installing wore off after a couple times, so I have stuck with derivatives in recent years, but I get it. :)

Theres no real reason to manually install arch anymore though, archinstall script is easy, and works well. Yea you don’t get a fancy GUI, but there are plenty of options to choose at install time.
