I have already tried out Linux Mint. But I want to try out other distros.

PC specs:

  • Intel Core i5-10400

  • 16 GB of RAM DDR4

  • 1 TB NVME SSD

  • 256 GB SATA SSD

  • Intel UHD 630

I can’t confirm that (I distro hopped to NixOS) I can confirm that Arch is a solid distro worth learning and will give you the skills to manage it long-term. Compared to Arch based distros like Manjaro, EndeavorOS and Garuda where people tend to screw up their install easily when installing the wrong packages from the AUR and updating with dependency conflicts.

I tried manjaro, it was a total mess after a few days of setting it up. Decided to just nuke it and go with arch and I’ve never looked back. Been 5 years now :)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
