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.

Yeah, very close though, but you didnt get LMDE fully.

Don't get me wrong, I used Mint for a year, it's what helped me quit macOS for good. It's a great distro, where you don't have to delve into advanced Linux topics just to get things working, which is what kept me as just a visitor to Linux for years prior. But once I did get the hang of Linux, I was drawn to Arch's philosophy of installing only what you want (* systemd being the glaring exception). Then I got converted to tiling WMs. So now there's very little about LMDE that appeals to me. I'd still recommend it to anyone though.

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.

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.

Been using it for two years on my side business laptop, works awesome. Plug and play functionality with most the apps I need, and rock stable.

Yeah, but still fake. Tried fake ubuntu on debian and feels fake.

No, I'm fine.

I tried TWM for a hot minute a couple years ago, thinking I'd be so cool for having the absolute minimal GUI possible. But the config syntax was impenetrable for me. I do still miss the left click root menu concept. I wish wl-roots compositors would implement that.

Tried xfce. Original, and looks like MacOS.

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.
