I've used Linux multiple times before, specifically Arch and CachyOS, but I've encountered problems each time, like issues with WiFi, SD card reader, and GRUB breaking. I'm seeking a Linux distribution that allows me to construct my system piece by piece, similar to Arch, but with more stability. I can't handle frequent updates due to limited internet access in my country, so a monthly update schedule would be ideal. I also need solid documentation to help with the setup. Just to add, I'm using an Intel 8th gen laptop, where I enjoy light gaming, developing 2D games with Godot, and web browsing. I hope to maximize performance for my games as well.

If you're running into constant issues, it might be worth looking at Gentoo. It allows you to build your system from the ground up, giving you that block-by-block control you're after.
Honestly, if it's breaking that often, it might be a configuration issue. I’ve used Arch for over two years without problems. Maybe consider testing in a virtual machine first to understand things better before you dive in.
For maximum stability, a minimal Debian installation might be your best bet. You can install only the packages you need and avoid a lot of potential issues. Let me know if you have a specific application in mind, and we could explore this further!
You might want to consider NixOS. It’s quite customizable and has a unique approach to configuration management that could give you the stability you're looking for.
