Arch, because it has what I want for gaming. Also its simple, lots of help in forums and community driven. Im not too big on rolling, but it’s really stable and works.
I have distro hopped a bit, used fedora, ubuntu, debian, and manjora. Stopped on arch as, I like my xfce set up with arch.
KISS - keep it stupid simple or simple stupid.
Try each for a week. Go through the installs. Set up a thing and do a update.
Make notes! I can’t stress this enough, want to actually learn a bit make a small note on why you like what you like and why you don’t. Ease of install, ease of finding support, ease of updating, and so on.
Shrug I distro hopped a lot. Tried a bunch before I stick with arch. Even did manjaro and ubuntu.
The beauty of linux is there’s a lot of options and choices.
Reason: big distros have big communities and support is easier to get or find.
I to want answers, I thought m1 had security limits to install Linux or any other os.
