I'm using Linux and other Unix-like systems for 12 years, and at this point I suspect I'd be fine with something like Debian too, if the hardware is not too new.
Slackware was always the coziest of Linux, but its kind of stability causes security issues in the modern world. And if you think Arch is laborious, while it has package management with dependency resolution, AUR and so on, then Slackware is even more of that. And I'd need multilib for Wine, which takes some manual actions and version tracking.
Using Void now, it works, but I guess some change wouldn't be bad. If I need pkgsrc, it works on any distribution.
