You should try gentoo as a therapy replacement next. It’s basically the adult version of maintaining a long running Animal Crossing save.
Every morning I wake up, grab a coffee and update my system @world. Almost every day it goes without a hitch and I watch the system evaluate and resolve any incongruities that might emerge from updates by itself. Other times I might need to make a intervention in the dependencies to guide it to a resolution; but it’s a small nudge in the right direction, like tweaking a miniature ship inside a bottle.
This is partially tongue in cheek but I unironically get a lot of joy out of administrating my PC: Having it completely customized and working exactly like I need it to.
Six months is the max that’s supposed to be supported. (Longest no-update period I’ve ever sorted out was twelve months. Possible, but time-consuming.)

Well, you do have to feed, er, update it at least every six months if you don’t want to be left with an unholy mess to clean up.
I’d advise every week, within six months a lot has changed and you may end up with messed-up inconsistencies.
