I used Manjaro for several years but it requires so much manual intervention on updates that don’t work. Just straight arch or endeavor would be easier in the long run imo. I use tumbleweed on my current main computer though.

Opensuse and a couple other distros I tested can do this too right out of the notification panel which is thankfully easy enough for my parents and grandparents. I still end up using the “quake style terminal” most of the time and just flatpak through the notification sometimes.
I can’t even bring myself to use the gui update tools on distros that have them. It just feels like doing anything with extra weight strapped on to every limb.
In the Intel core 2 era I played with doing this and trying to have the kernel and software all optimized and compiled for the specific hardware of the specific computer I was using and the performance gains if any were negligible.
I’d lean towards no.
I use it on my steam deck microsd to cram more removed in via compression. Main drive is left as ext4 though so case folding can be used for particularly janky windows games or mods.
