Arch users have the latest softwares, Debian users have LMDE. Is it real that Arch users are rich and have mid level PCs and is always up to date? Well they don’t have Mint(debian edition). Dont need to ask if anyone using it tho cuz its Mint and Debian edition of a distro.


Arch was my first choice, but it forces you to keep up to date and use the latest cutting edge software, its like Windows. So I am researching Debian, Mint, and Fedora instead.
Could you please elaborate on that? Like, how did it become your first choice?
Ubuntu then Debian for lightweight then Arch, then still researching.
While I think hearing about the sequence is cool as well, I was actually more interested in the (in)direct motivation behind it. Like, how did Arch Linux (specifically) manage to pique your interest?
Yeah, if you have spotty internet service or are using a minimal data plan, that can be an important deciding factor. You can leave an Arch system without updating too, as long as you don’t install a new package.
