  • To compare the software in this project to the software available in other distributions, please see our Compare Packages page.
  • Notes: In case where multiple versions of a package are shipped with a distribution, only the default version appears in the table. For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.
  • Colour scheme: green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.

 I've tried many Linux distros to use *a netbook released in 2010*. I'm a noob who has been using Linux for less than a month.

My choice is ArchBang. It's harder than other distro like Linux Mint, but it's the fastest and most stable for an old netbook. And it's easy once you get used to it.

ArchBang's advantage is that it is easy to maintain and manage even in old netbook and does not lose support. Other older distros also worked on netbook, but they were older versions that out of support.

There are not many things I can do with my old netbook, so I don't have to download unnecessary apps as much as possible is the advantage of ArchLinux. And for noob like me, ArchBang has significantly lowered that difficulty.

 ArchBang Linux, being based on Arch Linux, is known for its lightweight nature, simplicity, and rolling release model. It aims to provide a user-friendly Arch Linux experience by offering a pre-configured Openbox window manager and essential software.

Users who appreciate the flexibility and control offered by Arch Linux but want a more streamlined installation process and a ready-to-use desktop environment may find ArchBang to be a good choice. However, individual preferences for Linux distributions can vary based on specific needs and use cases.

For the latest and most accurate information, it's recommended to check user reviews, community forums, and the official ArchBang website.
