Huge up vote to arch Linux. I have been using it for a few years and I
might stick with this for a long time. DE/WM change a lot, settled
with i3 after xfce and xmonad.

Thank you Jaseem and Jesse for the suggestions. I am already downloading
Manjaro. Let me try it. Did start with Redhat and then moved to debian
based distros, which I have been using for a long time now. I have used
plain debian, ubuntu, mint, knoppix, morphix and several others. Somehow
I have got very much used to the debian style of functioning and do love
it. Now after a very long time, let me try this new one and see how it
is. Heard a lot about the qualities of Arch. But my debian and apt
affinity didn't permit me to leave them.
Thanks,
Sasi
