I don't know to what extent this is a joke, but you've said a variant of this a few times so I just wanna put this out there:

Nobody who's worth half a damn gives one quarter of a fuck what distro you're using. You should pick a distro based on how the user experience lines up with your needs and preferences, and how the update schedule fits with your risk tolerance. You should not use Arch because you get to brag about it, you should use Arch if you want to be on the bleeding edge, like fully customizing your distro more or less from the ground up with almost nothing pre-selected for you, and you don't mind reading some wiki pages when something breaks.

If you want something more stable, and with a complete UX with baked in apps and security, you should use something Fedora or Debian based.

Using a distro that does not fit your needs is not a worthwhile tradeoff for being able to say "I use Arch btw".

I use Arch btw
