  • Arch is customizable, like legos. It’s neither minimalistic, neither lightweight. It gives you almost unlimited amount of legos and you build something. Bad at building - you fucked. Good at building - congrats.

    You don’t require to melt those bricks from plastic tho (gentoo) or rebuild an existing OS (Ubuntu).

    Also when you buy Arch Lego© set, you also get a great instructions on how to do it (arch wiki) + recommendations on how to order additional less-frequently used legos (AUR).

    That’s why I prefer Arch. 👌









  • A bit more “home user friendly” explanation:

    Basically your home PC where you download “Linux ISOs”. But because you don’t like picking everything (movies/tv shows/etc, but not pc games) manually - you want to automate it.

    “Automate” is called Jellyfin/Plex and underlaying microservices, such as Radarr, Sonarr, Prowlarr, QBittorrent, Bazarr and so on. You want this to be available 24/7 so it automatically adds content (movies/shows) to your “wishlist”, downloads when it becomes available and automatically appears in your Jellyfin/Plex server.

    This is why you usually dedicate a server for this, which runs 24/7, usually at home. And I guess you call it “seedbox”.

    Some other users set up VPN on their server, configure qbittorrent to use ONLY vpn connection (to avoid getting emails from their ISPs for pirated Linux ISOs lol) and call it “seedbox”. They first torrent anything to seedbox, then they download from it to their PC. In my case it’s not needed, since everything is automated and I access all my “Linux ISOs” from Jellyfin.
