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!

      I’ve been using it for 5+ years with no issues specific to Manjaro.

      Arch on the other hand has intervention notices on its front page. Manjaro holds updates back a bit so they don’t have to deal with the bleeding edge of Arch.
