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!


Manjaro is the best, but you’ll have to see it for yourself.
Don’t trust the “wisdom of the crowd.” It does not exist.

Yeah, none of that matters.

Nobody mentions this because it’s not ‘cool’ and doesn’t make you fit in with losers/strangers on the internet.
