that is of course an option. not my cup of tea though. if I need to do things like that to play some games, I’d rather not play them at all and put my time into games from devs which don’t actively sabotage linux compatibility. That doesn’t mean I don’t miss playing for example pubg or valorant
i have used arch with kde plasma for about a year on my ThinkPad. so far it is working (and updating) without a hitch. I think the Potential, that your OS breaks somehow is higher on rolling release distros but i think Arch isn’t bad as daily driver if you take the time to install and customize the system to your needs. it is not so far away from a current fedora.
use haproxy instead of Port forwards, that should work just fine and works really well on opnsense
debian. stable, reliable, easy to learn
you could theoretically use something like ansible and manage your stuff there. i dont know if it is really practical on arch and for your use case. theoretically you’d write how your system should be into a playbook and on a fresh install you theoretically just had to run your playbook to get all the Packages and settings you need
