Linux Mint Cinnamon Edition
- very stable - I haven’t managed to break it yet
- lets me focus on getting shit done.
- very little system maintenance required, just applying updated
- feels like there’s a gui for everything
.
incapable of instructing.
you’re running around insulting people for doing exactly what you asked in exactly the format you provided
Sometimes, I feel sick of such simplistic questions. They look like they’re just for triggering people to response.
Alpine Linux Hyperbola OpenBSD
Last is not linux based though.

If you want people to help you, it would be good if you weren’t so condescending…
Edit: Grammar.
Arch Linux
- Great Wiki
- It just works comparing to other distros like Ubuntu
- My home PC for programming, I just love it
- I’m not a heavy gamer but games are much better on Arch Linux, including Steam Deck

Arch
Thanks to Pacman and the AUR there is an extensive list of apps to install very easily.
And you don’t have to keep the build dependencies on your system, so you have more disk space.
It’s lightweight and efficient
Arch is also not more lightweight than other distributions.
With Arch, unlike other distributions, there are no extra dev packages. Thus, everything is present in a single package, so they require more storage space.
Arch’s packages also have fixed dependencies on other packages, which in turn have other dependencies. So you can’t only install what you actually want, which is often claimed. For example, I would like to uninstall various Bluetooth packages, but I can’t because they are dependencies for packages I use.
The basic installation including base-devel requires more than 1 GB of storage space without the GUI. Some distributions need less including the GUI.
Fedora
- Better defaults than Ubuntu
- Stable enough for production servers
- I have many self hosted apps and containers and I have only a few issues time to time which is easily fixable
-
endeavourOS
- arch + installer + an awesome community
-
spiral linux
- debian + btrfs + snapper with snapshots in grub
- I run it with sid and the snapshots are great if anything goes wrong with an upgrade
.
Frankly, you’re being obnoxious.
-
Personally, I currently prefer Arch for the following reasons.
- AUR
- The Wiki
- The many vanilla packages
- Because you can easily create your own packages with the PKBGUILD files.
- Because, based on my own experience, Arch is quite usable despite the current packages.
If I had to choose another distribution, it would definitely be OpenSuse. Their rolling version, Tumbleweed, is also highly recommended.
Debian
- It’s just stable and fast
- My 2 servers are running on debian for years without any single issue
Arch Linux
More up to date software (mostly).
It offers choice for advanced users and developers.
Incapable of following simple instructions and using Arch? I doubt it.
Zorin OS
It is easily customizable (via a preinstalled app) and is intuitive for Windows and MacOS users.
It is a very clean and neat Linux distro.
There is no need to tweak anything to get it working

You should carefully review anything you install from AUR. No review happens there at all. Everyone can upload anything he likes.
Yes, and PKGBUILD files with bad intentions have been published there in the past (https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2018-July/034151.html).
But both Manjaro (https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository) and vanilla Arch (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_User_Repository) point out the possible dangers clearly enough in my opinion. Apart from that, it is definitely easier for users to check for example the PKBUILD files in the AUR than ready-made packages in a PPA for Ubuntu.
Debian and FreeBSD
Wtf is going on here
