I've been using Ubuntu for as long as I've been a Linux user, and with the way things are going I'm fixing to switch. I'm only really familiar with Debian-based distros but I've heard the packages Debian comes with are often outdated. Arch seems pretty cool but I've heard it's quite unstable. I've heard good things about Fedora.

I've also heard people say that systemd is the antichrist. Is it really that bad?

A. systemd isnt nearly as bad from an end user base as you might think. From a free software standpoint it is kind of evil, but nowadays so much stuff is written to work with it, it's tough to escape it unless your a Linux pro.

B. As far as distros go, for a standard userz arch is almost always my answer. However, base Arch isnt very friendly, so my personal choice for best distro is Manjaro. Basically anything with access to the AUR. Avoid anything Ubuntu based like a Nigger Jew

I saw a video on how shady Manjaro is a while back and it's given me a bad impression on the distro.

I had a love/hate relationship with Manjaro for a really long time also. Early on, updates would break my shit, then later their plans for office software seemed sketch. When I finally decided to jump off a Ubuntu distro when the whole SNAP shit started, I wanted something with access to the AUR because it's too good to passup. I decided to try Manjaro 1 last time. I've been on it now for 4 years, same install. I realize impressions can be a strong sway, but I'd urge you to at least give it a week test. Their software updater is on par with anything you'll use in any other "free" distro, their release cycle (usually) filters out the bugs that come with Arch, and if an issue does arise, you'll have access to the Arch wiki, instead of searching through Ubuntu or Debian forum posts hoping someone had a similar issue.

I never understood the problem with systemd. That being said I still stick with Debian.

About 6-8 years ago, it acted funny. Would break installs on updates, make programs run weird, change your settings, etc. I haven't had an issue using it since 2019, probably was just growing pains. That said, it WAS when I was using Ubuntu, and could have just as easily been the distro, given how Frankenstein those fucking niggerfaggots are with their update process and Kernel patching

That's why I don't use Ubuntu. Mint is a good distro but I won't use Ubuntu anymore. I have read some things saying it's backdoored like M$ Windoze is and they get the bulk of their funding from China I just don't bother with it.
