I am just testing copying and pasting from Chrome to Firefox in a New Topic since Crippled is having issues.

 

Please try Arch from here https://archlinux.org/

Although gambling is often seen as an issue which mainly affects men, data from GambleAware suggests the number of women seeking treatment for gambling addiction has doubled in 5 years. But the majority of women affected do not seek help, with two in five unwilling to do so due to the stigma - and a lack of representation.

Another quote from today's BBC site, this time from the BBC on Chrome. I wonder if Crippled2015 us trying to post in the SpeakEasy.

A few years ago Arch pushed out an update that caused many uses to not boot.

 

There is no reason to be on the leading edge of software especially if you use your machine for everyday use.

Wondering how Arch reads this?

harry@antiX-23.1:~
$ ldd /usr/sbin/sshd | grep 'lzma|systemd'

If nothing is returned. You are golden using Arch Linux.

There is also a recent backdoor using XZ  issue which did not affect any linux distros other than Arch ,Kali and OpenSUse before it was caught.

No it didn't arch didn't because arch didn't link ssh to libxz via systemd so therefore it wasn't impacted nor was it ever vulnerable for exploit.
