I almost went back to Mint on my last rebuild, but ended up going with Debian + Cinnamon. So far so good.

Not a good choice for people who want to play games. Debian focuses on stability so their packages are typically outdated.

Ah, so them Arch is the way to go.

Any rolling distro that you enjoy is the way to go here I suppose. I'd also hitch my wagon to and arch variant personally but tumbleweed wasn't terrible either. Just not my mojo.

There's lots of distros, rolling & LTS based, that have up to date packages.
