If you're shifting from a distro that you got bored with, like Ubuntu (libs are outdated on LTS releases, so compiling stuff on it can be a PITA), and just wanna try something that you can tinker a bit more, but not break often, I would actually recommend Void (and BTRFS with snapshots of course). This, plus the fact that it has amazing tools/scripts that automate most of the building process is why it's my personal preference. Arch is too cutting edge, stuff break often. Void is kinda this sweet spot. It's rolling release, but not as bleeding edge as Arch. They'd rather opt for stability instead of bleeding edge, that is what I also like.
I really enjoyed using Gentoo, it was my daily driver for about two years, but currently I am trying out NixOS and it is rather interesting. Both of those have been really stable (especially Gentoo) whilst still being rolling distros.
