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!

    Arch should not be used by beginners and hacking together a distro to make that happen was never a good idea. A team that cannot even figure out SSL certs should not have even attempted it.

      So you basically hold them to a higher standard than google, apple, Microsoft, cisco, Amazon. Because theyve all had outages cause by certs expiring.

      Its a common issue and its not a huge deal. The package manager cert was a big outage but their wiki website cert is the most minor shit ever.
