Any Arch-based distro because of the rolling release model, the excellent pacman package manager and the AUR.
Especially EndeavourOS. It's Arch Linux with a Calamares installer. Not that the Arch Linux setup process is hard, but it's a pain. I did it once and never again. EndeavourOS uses the Arch repos plus its own tiny repo with stuff like the Welcome screen, some themes and yay, so it's pretty much Arch with different branding.
I second that
I know that my personal case is only one data point, but I currently manage one EndeavourOS system and one Arch Linux system and except for hardware-specific issues and things I only tried to do in one machine and not the other, I have only ever had identical problems in both. And few of those, too. EndeavourOS... endeavours.... (sorry) to be as faithful to the original Arch installation process as possible, except automated and optionally also installing a graphical environment.
To this day the first thing I put on my "pure" Arch installs is Yay, never going back
