It's all been good, since I gave up on NeXTSTEP around '97, but it got next level best with rolling distributions. Arch has been game changing. I'd used Redhat, CentOS, Gentoo, Debian, Ubuntu, Gobo - all for one or more years - but until Arch I never felt I'd really escaped dependency hell. I still occasionally will have a hiccup, but it's more like a dependency heck, not something that turned into something that consumed an entire day to resolve. And it's the only distribution that hasn't (yet, knock on wood) screwed up grub so that my machine wouldn't boot. I've screwed it up, by e.g. migrating SD's and getting the UUIDs wrong, but never has the upgrade process screwed me over.
