Say bye bye to SystemD.

If you must use Linux for work stuff and development and need dependability then Debian Stable or Testing will usually give the least headaches. If you like self-flagellating to fix all the latest breaking changes yourself then maybe Arch Linux will be your preferred punisher.

If you want to use the vast Arch AUR but don't want to piece together your system you can try Manjaro, which uses Arch but comes pre-built similar to Linux Mint.

If you're into pen testing then ParrotOS has the tools bundled ready to roll.

If you're paranoid there is Whonix, Qubes, and Tails.

If you need ultra-fast with ultra-low resource usage you might try Mabox, TinyCore, Puppy, or Slitaz.

If you are sick of all the crazy quirks and constant changes you can ditch *nix altogether and try running Haiku OS.

Or you can join the Luddite club, drop your computer off a cliff, and get farmin'. Cuz with all these conflicting and competing choices, all of which suck time like a tornado, I'm beginning to think that back breaking work in the sun and rain is better than a zillion hours of busy work keeping up with pointless changes in software. Plus calloused hands are cooler than carpal tunnel keyboard mitts.
