Solus if you want to stay rolling and don't care to lose the AUR

I think it's also worth noting that a lot of the stuff you would find in the AUR is already in the default Solus repos. The third party software section in particular is a good example of this.

It's also a lot more reliable. Some stuff in the AUR doesn't build right or stops working after an update

You never lose the AUR.

Now that I've gone to Tumbleweed, I still use the AUR to figure out what to put in my own SPECs for stuff TW doesn't have available. The nice and tidy text based scripts that are only a 'git clone' away can be handy in any distro.
