Lets say I wanted a distro with more bleeding edge packages but not something DIY like Arch, what would you recommend?
Nowadays I use EndeavourOS. It's Arch bit "just works" Graphical installer, you choose a DE, it automatically installs audio, media codecs etc. But under the hood it's still Arch so you get daily updates and AUR
I use Calam Arch Installer which is a graphical installer not unlike those used on other distros but for vanilla Arch. Garuda and Manjaro use the same installer but with their tweaks. Calam installer is standard Arch.
I wouldn't really can arch diy. I run arch. I have way fewer problems with it than any other distro
CachyOS. It's arch based, but the installer is really good, and it has great repos. It also has a lot of optimizations for modern cpus
