I personally use and recommend Arch for anyone who wants a rolling release system (and Debian for everything else).
However, a lot of people want an Arch-based system, but don't really want to deal with setting everything up manually and for those people I do recommend Antegros. It is essentially a hassle free fork which gets everything setup for you with minimal effort on your part (and will even install your preferred DE or WM of choice and their respective applications if you wish).
I've played around with it in the past and as I stated above the only real differences between the two is that Antegros has a nice GUI installer and adds on an extra repository which I believe you can remove without any issues. All the packages and various core repositories are straight from Arch.
This is really cool! I've been reading some stuff in their forums for a little while now and now the only problem is that I'm seriously considering swapping distros again, and the only two that I've really seriously ever used before are Ubuntu and Mint. Do you think that there will be a steep learning curve switching from something ease of use oriented to Arch?
Edit: I've mad up my mind. I'm going to start the installation now. :D
