Yeah, I'm not on base Arch. I run Garuda Arch, it's a quite polished derivative.
Things that drew me to, and kept me on Garuda:

  1. Flavours in:
    -KDE(lite & several other KDE based including a gaming flavour with options for a bunch of preconfigured programs)
    -GNOME
    -Cinnamon
    -XFCE
    -SWAY
    -i3
    -Hyprland
    -A NixOS subsystem
    -COSMIC
  2. The forums are highly active, any issues that aren't already covered in the forum the Devs are really quick to respond to. Think the longest I waited for a Dev or mod/admin to hop into a question I posted was 45mins.
  3. The gaming flavour's preconfigured bits work exceedingly well OOTB

If you're feeling a hankering to distro-hop, I would highly recommend Garuda.

I'll check it out. Ive been running a single distro for almost a month which is far too long.

Yeesh! Well....now you can install every flavour of Garuda! 🤣 12 flavours should keep you busy for at least an afternoon!
