What Arch-based distro should my sister use?
It has to be nicely themed. No KDE or GNOME btw.
Should she go to Ubuntu 18.10? It looks nice and usable. (even though id go for Devuan if debian route)

At first, you should rape her and make her your sex slave. As there is no girl who wanna use Arch Linux.

>arch-based
>Ubuntu
if she wants to go arch i would say artix or parabola-nosystemd
if Ubuntu/Debian i would say mint, it's stable, easy and intuitive to use and a monkey could install it.
for arch-based i wouldn't go for the consumer friendly distros like antragos or manjaro because they will sooner or later crash and burn and she will have to fix it (you will have to fix it)

Girls more like Kali Linux than Arch Linux. Actually, all girls hate Arch!

Maybe Artix LXQt, or ArchLabs OpenBox/Xfce? Or just Xubuntu if she's a newbie to Linux

xbps, LibreSSL, it's even smaller than Arch iirc, most non-systemd distros use sysvinit or OpenRC whereas Void uses the more based/repilled runit

just install devuan
its installation iso has non-free wifi drivers and it's not a shitty meme distro
>>9229
no
pls no
manjaro sucks.
>>9948
this.
pacman is terribad. apt, rpm, pkgsrc, everything is better. xbps is comfy.

Actually due to some issues with Windows 10 my sister has had to use my Linux partition for a while now and OpenSUSE + Plasma so far has been the best in manageable, but I also suggest Debian + Xfce + Adapta

It comes down to personal preferences, but I like pacman's interface and commands a lot more than apt's. I use Artix, that way I don't get systemd bloat and enjoy pacman and AUR.

OP my sister received an ancient Dell laptop with an optimistic Vista Ready sticker on it. I installed Arch with GNOME on it and she's enjoying it. I hardly had to explain anything to her. Don't dismiss it just because it's not for you.
It does annoy us by displaying a 'HDD likely to fail' message on each startup though (SMART test doesn't approve of the disk's age and it looks like GNOME uses that to alert on each boot). I'm not investing any money in that thing and I don't have spare drives at the moment.
