</span>Hi Omer,<br>
<br>
Sounds to me like you're looking for a rolling release: Gentoo, Funtoo,<br>
Arch, Manjaro, Void etc.<br>
<br>
Gentoo and Funtoo are both compile-installation, and both use chroot<br>
installs exclusively. Arch is a more difficult than average chroot<br>
install. Manjaro and Void have regular installation programs, although<br>
Void has facilities to do chroot installations if you prefer.<br>
<br>
If you love systemd, Arch is what you want: They're fanatics about<br>
their beloved systemd. If you hate systemd, Funtoo and Void have<br>
pledged never to have systemd. If you like daemontools-inspired inits,<br>
Void Linux inits with Runit (one of the big reasons I chose Void as my<br>
daily driver).<br>
<br>
Manjaro is like Arch with an easy installation program. Also, Manjaro<br>
is more init agnostic, and in fact offers an "OpenRC Edition".<br>
<br>
>From what I hear second hand, Void is the one of these rolling releases<br>
*least* likely to bork your system on an update.<br>
