I use a lot of different Operating Systems around my homelab including Debian, Fedora, FreeBSD, OpenBSD.

My primary personal laptop is a T450. I realized today that is has been over 3 years since I installed Arch Linux on it. That time has gone by fast and I have had exactly ZERO issues with keeping it up to date.

#archlinix being difficult maintain long term is a myth I keep hearing repeated. I have not had any problems running arch on my T450 and I have no plans to switch.

@norrist Congratulations! I'm on T460P and LMDE, I am also very satisfied with my choice. I've never installed anything else than Debian-based (incl Ubuntu-based) during the few years I've explored Linux & Co. What I hear is that Archbased are more difficult, needs more knowledge to use and maintain incl applications, than eg LMDE – but no experience myself. Good to hear your Linux distro works well for you!
