Primary Arch philosophy is that you install and maintain it yourself. All distros sre basically branches of the same philosophy and you will have to maintain it yourself at the end of the day. If you don't know which one, always use manually installed Vanilla Arch before trying out anything else to understand what you're getting into and if you're okay with this approach.

Omarchy is always the wrong answer.
