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!

    How does Cachy not work? How do you even use it in the same sentence as Manjaro? Cachy is just Arch + some optimized packages provided by their repos. You can theoretically migrate from pure Arch to Cachy by adding their repos and even the other way around.
