@ttntm You have three options that are all basically the same, also what is your experience this far, have you run linux before, or is this a first dip your toes in kind of deal? I'm just not wanting to suggest something that would turn you off if it's the first time you're trying it out :)

@sotolf thanks for asking :) Ubuntu, Fedora a long time ago, Arch too, Manjaro on my personal devices for 2+ years.

@ttntm So this is for a work PC? For work I'd just go for something boring that works, like debian, for a home system I'd say arch, to play around and make something that is truelly made for you. If you're okay with a bit of work setting it up that is, but I at least have found it very worth it in the end :)

@sotolf yup, work notebook. Just my thoughts basically, hence the very "safe" poll.For the private one, sure. Manjaro's just too comfy, but I've been tempted to go back to true Arch more than just a couple of times.

@ttntm ah yeah, you're new here, so you don't know how much I dislike manjaro :p but you at least get plus point for not pretending like it's arch ;) Yeah, for work I would not go for something adventureous, so I'll add my vote to debina then :)
