Yeah I consolidated down to Debian for servers and mint for desktops and laptops years ago so that all my systems were similar, but got tired of Debian tooling, switched to manjaro and arch, then endeavor and arch, and a couple years ago stopped installing desktop environments altogether and went Wayland with a compositor, if I do change the base distro one day again it's gonna become a BSD. It depends if that's constant ripping my hair out or not.

I thought about, looked into and/or tried out alpine, void and nix but for various reasons decided against them for my daily uses. Alpine is all busybox instead of gnucoreutils, void is just strange and requires a ton of setup and nix is supposed to promise reproducible system builds but winds up being constant overhead. So I just bit the bullet, realized I'm running systemd and GCC even if that's not ideal and stuck with arch.
