    It really does feel like a lot sometimes with the updates. I'm also thinking about looking for something that is also quite close to the edge / rolling but maybe a bit slower.

    I was on Manjaro before for a couple of years. They clone the arch repos but then hold back the updates usually a week or so for testing. And it feels in general a bit more "stable" in that concern. But unfortunately over the years i noticed some problems with it like holding back important security updates for way too long for my taste or rewrites of some arch-tools which then not worked in a expected way.

    And Endeavour felt right from the first second on noticeable more mature and professional with settings and tools that made sense.

    The one big distro family i never looked into is Fedora. As far i see they have some kind of semi-rolling release which could fit the bill quite nicely. Major releases which then kept fairly up-to-date but not so fast and overwhelming as with Arch.

    Maybe i will check it out. But yeah, i would probably miss the AUR. It is just so damn convenient.
