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!

    Do you use Arch?

    Not currently but I have in the past.

    Best Arch distro?

    Just install vanilla Arch. If you don’t want to install it manually, archinstall works fine. But you really should install it manually, following the Installation Guide on the Arch Wiki at least once.

    Don’t use Manjaro.
