    Why you shouldn't use Manjaro (by EmeraldSnorlax)

  • archweb

    Arch Linux website code

  • I love arch, it’s bleeding edge updates make it great for gaming and getting the latest performance, I can’t tell you how many people on Debian get stuck with out of date drivers. The AUR (arch user repository) makes it so easy to install programs like discord, Google, etc. tho keep in mind that for a beginner arch and Debian are pretty advanced IF you are not willing to learn. They are fantastic distros and if you are comfortable with following their wikis ( arch wiki ) then you should be fine!

  • **advanced** You can consider changing your kernel to Xanmod https://xanmod.org/ there is performance gains to be had but the regular kernel is alright.
