Yeah the rolling release is the only reason I haven't used the for anything server related.  I do run many servers and do not want to have an update break several systems at once.  That would be overwhelming.  Ubuntu is great for servers and its stable so if I intend to have it run for a long term then that is what I run.  Personal everyday use Arch is great because its a rolling release and is always updated so when new drivers come out boom installed.  As an Nvidia user arch is far better with handling the drivers for this.  The Steam Deck is making sure that games work for it. If your a game and hate windows this is where you will want to be.  I use manjaro XFCE because I don't care about a flashy desktop.  I love the low usage of resources.  The system just goes zooom!  

Someday I'll get the itch to hand peice together arch the long way and will get it done but Manjaro just works most of the time and with the AUR you can find basically anything that isn't made for arch ported to it.
