You probably can't update as much as you can with Arch, but any reasonable modern linux distro these days allows the user to have a very stable core and very up to date user space with snaps, flatpaks and AppImages. I was jealous of windows because of exactly this. No longer now. It could still be better, e.g.: .AppImages could automatically be opened by something that mimics an installation wizard with checks for signatures, permissions, installations, periodic updates... it would be much more user-friendly than expecting the user to give "executable rights/flags" to a file that was just downloaded. Nevertheless, it broke the "good enough" barrier for me. Coming from a time that "just released" software required compilation from source and sometimes, compilation of its dependencies which sometimes could simply break the system or worse: add lots of repos that could suddenly disappear or break your package manager in a way that it was simpler to just reinstall your system from scratch than trying to fix it; current situation is much much better. It is good to have a mature and stable distro that one can expect will be maintained for years with software that was released just yesterday.
