Using Manjaro and Artix. Both are really great.

Artix is a healthy systemd-free distro, so I'm slowly migrating everything to it.

Manjaro just works, is stable, reliable, updates never break my system, their tools are very handy (Pamac GUI is the best software manager I've used in 21 years of Linux, with Synaptic).

I only installed Manjaro once 7 years ago, and ever since I've had that install copied on several partitions with success and reliability. The day I move away from systemd entirely (it's a matter of when, not if), I'll regret Manjaro deeply.

Artix is pretty damn good though, so I'm also looking forward to it.
