Explain
I would advise against any rolling distro if you use Nvidia drivers and CUDA. When I was using Tumbleweed it kept breaking with kernel updates. This was common in the forums. I had to pin my kernel to an older version to fix it. It was not ideal.
I've come full circle back to Debian stable. I'm sure at some point I'll need a newer package and be frustrated again. When the time comes, perhaps I'll try distrobox if I can't easily backport it.
I have been running Manjaro(I know not arch) and have been happy with it. But I will definitely give tumbleweed a look. I like knowing I have the latest versions of things.
well tested rolling, you literally have the arch update wall of terminal every week but it is a bit more stable with great tools like snapper should anything go a bit wrong
I love opensuse and I've switched back to it from arch on two of my three computers, but the one thing I miss is the speed of pacman. I'll be working on something with an arch user and need to install something new and by the time zypper has refreshed the repos, pacman will have completely finished the whole installation
