OpenSuse Tumbleweed or Arch Linux?

Hi all. Recently, the question began to torment - should I switch to OpenSuse Tumbleweed? I use the system for surfing the web, listening to music, programming (learning it)
and reading books. I'm currently using Arch Linux, but recently I've taken a liking to OpenSuse Tumbleweed. Both systems use floating updates, which is undoubtedly convenient. I also met with the opinion that OpenSuse has the best implementation of kde (and I myself am a kedoyuser). Advise what to choose?

If you do not need to learn Linux much, then install openSUSE, it is more convenient for applied purposes. There is a wonderful YAST.

what exactly do you need from the system?
I can say about Arch, because I know him much more.
Arch has two main advantages:
First, Arch has always been famous as a system-designer, what you make is what it will be. There are no 10 iso images with customized and polished graphical shells here. The main goal is for all components to work and be compatible with each other, and what wallpapers, plugins, themes, settings, etc. it is at the mercy of the user. After installing the base system and the desired graphical shell, you take a file and direct your charms. For fans of everything at once, there are branches from Arch with already induced brilliance from the developers of a particular distribution, for example, the same Manjaro.
Secondly, Arch is geared towards a role-playing release, and it is precisely geared, this is not some kind of side branch or additional repository (like Tumbleweed), here the developers are completely absorbed in the interaction and testing of the system components, and all interactions are maximally adapted for this model. The result is incredible stability for such a development model. Although it may not reach the stability of the main systems on periodic releases (PR), but this is only in the short term, in the long term, systems with PR from release to release accumulate errors that become unbearable for most users and it is easier for them to reinstall the system according to new than to understand the heap of problems that arose during the update.
ps
but in any case, try and test different distributions, it will develop you and your horizons.
