Why does everyone talk about Ubuntu, Mint, and Fedora for Linux based operating systems. Why not Zorin os or Arch.

Because these are user friendly and stable-for-the-user distros. The Arch community doesn't like admitting it much and will probably downvote me for this but Arch is not stable by any means! Packages break in Arch quite often and I've had quite a few kernel panics after updating the kernel. This doesn't happen on Ubuntu and Ubuntu based distros. Nowadays it doesn't happen on Fedora either. In fact, Fedora recently has grown to be really stable, fast and user friendly. As for Zorin OS, it's just meh...I can't think of many reasons to care about it if you can just go for Linux Mint or Ubuntu.

Everyone's talking about arch?

@dannydam not down voting you, don't worry ;) but I made ALOT of bad experience with Ubuntu (I didn't even get Debian to install). And I personally never had problems with Arch packages. And i do seriously a lot of shit with my PC. The upgrade from Ubuntu fucked up my GPU driver so I just installed arch and everything is working perfectly fine 👌 I guess it depends on the hardware you've got

@b3b3 Ubuntu can be a bit of a mixed bag, I agree. From my experience, staying on LTS releases never breaks the system. I've found regular support releases to be far less stable, so I generally recommend newcomers to use Ubuntu LTS.

@dannydam for newcummers I totally agree. On Arch it's a lot easier to fuck up because you are using the terminal way more often. New comers won't even get that bitch of OS installed I guess xD
