One can like multiple distros. e.g. i run Debian on my media center because i have no need for bleeding edge software and want just a stable system that changes as rarely as possible and only receives security patches. Its a perfect OS for shit that just needs to be setup once and then runs in that configuration forever.
If you try that with e.g. Arch, it is very possible that after a week you have suddenly a different theme installed for your frontend and your plugins stopped working.
Same goes for my server in the web. there i tend more to ubuntu though. (but looking into others. i’m just an lazy fuck right now)
And on my desktop system i run Arch because i like to have the newest shit for gaming and i like some of the design decisions the dev made like the early merge of /bin.
And on some of my ancient android phones i got Alpine to run very nicely in a chroot. Primarily because it is very very lightweight / compact and uses OpenRC as init system because Systemd gets very pissy when its not running as PID 1 / detecting it is in a chroot and then refuses to start services (there are hackarounds, but why bother?)
And then there is of course things like Raspian, etc.
I use EndeavourOS, and I love the way the system runs, I enjoy pacman and AUR, but I also get annoyed having to do the sudo pacman -Syu dance every couple of days. I want an Arch-like distro that is stable. Does such a thing exist?

no. you can only like one.

sudo pacman -Syudance every couple of days. I want an Arch-like distro that is stable. Does such a thing exist?
