doesn't matter, once you've learned enough about linux you'll end up with debian or centos(maybe fedora) anyway

i found fedora just as easy as mint and ubuntu. debian for me was just like ubuntu but with more added stress. desu arch isnt as hard as it seems. after the install its pretty smooth

>>51920855
they are all the same. and if you aren't legally retarded all are "easy".
the only reason why everyone ends with debian or centos is because it's stable and supported, so you won't have to deal with broken shit

i'm sticking with xubuntu forever

>>51920817
Use gentoo because its the easiest to customize.

If you're bored of Debian and Fedora you are definitely ready for Arch. But don't stay there. That's a mistake a lot of beginners make.

I hate apt so I always use Fedora

fedora is shit

I think if you're bored with Ubuntu you should jump straight into Arch; Debian and Fedora aren't that much harder to use.

Debian isn't that great for desktops or other machines where you'd like want to run software that's less than two years old. Even unstable is always out of date, and usually lives up to its name more than cutting edge distros.

It's not hard. Read the instructions and follow them and if you fuck up, start over. You won't have to buy another license.

As other anon has said, debian is used because it's stable. Arch isn't, but delivers the newest shit. There is no easy or hard.

Seriously, I just finished installing Arch, the only way you can fuck up is if you can't read and figure out what you're supposed to do with your specific hardware.

and if you're doing it on a hyper-visor just remember to recognize the session as a separate computer.

People forget about Sid. Running unstable on Debian right now actually gets you a lot of software newer than what Arch has, the kernel being a good example.
