Ubuntu 20.04 LTS’ snap obsession has snapped me off of it

Just remember that Arch is a rolling release distribution so the updates you do get will be bleeding edge. I recommend setting up Timeshift and always backing up your system before updating; if you’re using BTRFS it’s instant (although ext4 is practically instant on modern NVMe drives).

Also consider Manjaro if you want an Arch-based distro but don’t want to go through the trouble of manually setting everything up on first install. I’ve been running the KDE edition as my main OS and it’s fantastic!

+1 for Manjaro.

I always shill for it.

It's like Ubuntu if Ubuntu were rolling (so much faster drivers and DE features, but nerfed delivery to minimize breakage and still really user-friendly, with a GUI kernel and driver switcher) and if instead of PPAs it had a big repo that just had everything on it (the AUR, which Manjaro's GUI package manager, Pamac, works with once the setting's toggled).
