I think it’s safe to say that most people here have used more than one Linux distribution, and their first distro wasn’t their last. I’m curious, what were the steps that took you from your first Linux distro to what you currently use? What were the reasons you switched away each time? Would you ever switch back to an old distro? Are you happy with your current one?

    Linux Mint → Arch because installing up-to date software is inconvenient in Linux Mint.

      This has been getting better with Flatpak, at least for GUI applications that have been packaged on Flathub. You can get a stable base system with full upgrades every so often, then get quick upgrades to the Flatpak software. However, that leaves behind CLI applications and unpackaged applications so it’s not a full solution yet.
