Artix is great IMO. You can choose your init system. It's not for your grandmother perhaps. It's a rolling distro like Manjaro and I think it generally benefits from the Arch ecosystem. I only really notice it getting better since I've been using it for the last 3-4 years. The change to using pipewire for sound was unpleasant and the one other major problem I had was Chromium breaking Signal for a time. Everything else has been happiness.
