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!

Most of that is pedantic. Its a solid distro with a sane out of the box configuration. However you shouldnt use the AUR on it unless you know what you’re doing.
Most of it speaks to their lack of competency. Issues like this are less frequent on arch and the whole point of this distro is that It’s supposed to be an easier arch.
it is in fact harder arch.
Yeah, none of that matters.
On the other hand, https://www.bitdefender.com/en-us/blog/hotforsecurity/tampered-linux-mint-iso-linked-on-official-website
Nobody mentions this because it’s not ‘cool’ and doesn’t make you fit in with losers/strangers on the internet.
All of it matters, hard disagree, even if none of them are individually that bad it shows an insane degree of incompetence
the linux mint thing happened one time and was resolved, it shows no history of being incompetent, that’s why it isn’t mentioned, it’s hardly worth mention, one security breach in the entire history of the project is not a big deal.
furthermore i personally don’t think mint is a good distro either so, whatever.
