Eh well, to each their own. When you find an LTS distro that you still have to install what you want, when you want it.. you'll come to realize it's not much different except for using old and outdated packages that don't have the added features and security the newer stuff does.

You can install a recent Arch ISO and never update it, as in, it's not a requirement that you update it daily/weekly. I've left mine alone for months without touching it, and so long as you don't use "pacman -Syu" you keep the same packages that were there to begin with (ie. you don't update/sync the repos).

Either way, hope you can find something you enjoy, as that's what it's all about!

Regards,
Nick
