I've been running the same arch install for atleast 5 years... I honestly can't recommend any other distro because I haven't used many for a long enough period of time

Ok but I won't use stable distributions until im need to use them and how did not crash from maintenance and downloaded too many softwares

I also used Arch for 5+ years and had very few issues. If you know what you're doing, it's not hard to keep it running stable.

I'm now on Tumbleweed and have even fewer issues.

But honestly, what's wrong with stable distros? I recommend them by default because there's far less chance for anything to go wrong day to day, and your only concern is at release time. I switched because I'm a developer and using the latest is better for me so I can test on the latest versions of things. I also prefer to fix things as I go instead of potentially lose a day to a release upgrade going sideways (happened twice, once with Ubuntu and again with Fedora).

Btw, Tumbleweed is great because it configures snapper by default, which let's you roll back if an upgrade goes poorly. I've used it a few times over 2-3 years, mostly when my NVIDIA driver got mismatched from the kernel. I'm now on an AMD GPU and haven't needed it since.
