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!

    Stay away from Manjaro.

    I’ve heard great things about Endeavor and Cachy, but personally use Garuda. Highly recommend it.

      Woah I used Garuda years ago and loved it at the time. Surprised it’s still going strong!
