From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

There's openSUSE tumbleweed. It's rpm based like fedora and it's rolling-release like arch. I don't know what the 3rd party/nonfree software situation is like. Maybe someone else can chime in on that front.
I will add, as an arch user, I think you could easily tweak your current system to be less annoying with the updates, but I realize that's not the question you're asking so feel free to disregard that.
OP is complaining about dnf being too slow. I've heard zypper is even worse.
Yeah I love opensuse but zypper is the slowest thing in the world. It takes it several minutes just to refresh repositories a lot of the time
If you love openSuSE, never look under the packaging hood. Last time I did, it was horrific
I love using opensuse, don't worry I have tried to make packages with obs and it did not go well. But then again I'm bad at making packages for most things.
