Okay I have a case coming in to shove my junk in it. 8500t (temporary until I get a 8700k) -16gb ram -1060 6gb -2 2.5ssd -2 3.5hdd

I’m partial to Mint and Debian commands. Anyone have a suggestion before I go balls deep into a Mint distro build?

    Rhino. it is a new, but very promising distro, ubuntu based and rolling, which is great for gaming

        YMMV… but in my experience that whole “time to maintain arch”-idea is overstated.

        I defintiely spend less time on issues like “oh, there’s a bug. let’s role that update back and try again in 6-24 hours when it’s fixed” or “defaults changed in a new version, let’s take a quick look at the changes” on arch than on annoying bugs persisting for years in fixed distros. And that’s before calculating the whole “distro upgrade every otehr year”-stuff. Which likes to kill a whole weekend at least and barely ever works (followed by the same “oh, defaults changed” but now on dozens of components at the same time).

        And because of that second point in particular even if archlinux wouldn’t be my choice I could never go back to a non-rolling release.

    Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE). It, with Cinnamon, is what I use for my home servers.

    Why not Mint? Just use what you like. It doesn’t matter nearly as much as people say.

    Personally I like OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.
