Debian is a better alternative for Ubuntu. Arch has a rolling-release cycle that incurs additional maintenance (things break).

- AsyncAwait 10y agoDebian is a good choice, but I've found the up-to-date packages and pacman to be better at showing how current Linux looks to new users. Also, the maintenance burden is largely contained to [testing], with it disabled, I've run the same Arch install since '13 with no problem.
