I’ve been using Debian (and formerly Ubuntu) for many years.

But I’ve been wanting to tell people that I use Arch.

I’ve been considering the following distros:

  • Arch
  • Cachy
  • Manjaro
  • Any others?

I’m leaning towards Arch or Cachy. This is for a mediocre laptop that I’m planning to use as a media center: Kodi, Retroarch, Steam, etc. Should I even be using Arch for this? Maybe Debian is more stable…

Sorry if this has been asked before. Thanks for any tips!

    Arch if you want to do the install completely by yourself and/or have some setup that can’t be replicated by the usual installers.

    EndeavourOS/Cachy if you want a simple GUI installer for Arch, but you don’t get bragging rights.

    Don’t use Manjaro
