Arch or Antergos. I couldn't go back to a non rolling release OS.

Most of the time these days I use the Antergos installer and clone my dotfiles but my personal laptop (T430) still runs Arch.

I recently tried a number of distro's including Ubuntu, Fedora and Suse and while they were all great in their own way they make life too difficult. Why have more than one package manager or way to install software? Yast is still horrific. The lack of rolling release and single package manager has limited Linux on the desktop. While it's not a problem for most Linux users it has stunted everyday users.
