I made the unfortunate post about asking why people liked Arch so much (RIP my inbox I’m learning a lot from the comments) But, what is the best distro for each reason?

RIP my inbox again. I appreciate this knowledge a lot. Thank you everyone for responding. You all make this such a great community.

    Gentoo because it is as stable as Debian, less bloated than Arch, has more packages than Ubuntu, is rolling release, can mix and match stable, testing and unstable on a whim.

    Even its one downside, compile times, is now gone if you just choose to use binary packages.

      And less stable than Arch, and more bloated than Ubuntu… If that is something you want for whatever reason! It is the most versatile distro in existance because it’s literally anything you want it to be - clean and nice, or total chaos. What is there not to love?
