From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Im a MEAN Stack developer and require the following:-

MongoDB (with MongoDB Compass)
Express
Angular
NodeJS

I need those for my web development job and projects.

I have experience with Ubuntu and Fedora based distros and wanted to use Arch Linux because i like the way Hyprland looked. Just tell me how to install mongodb, the rest can be done with npm.

Honestly I would say just learn Docker. It only takes a few days, a week tops. You make a container with Mongo and one with Node, network them together, map the Express port and the data volumes for db/code/build to the host machine, and live happily ever after.

Which is super clean, not distro-dependent, reproducible, portable, easy to backup, you can swap Mongo and Node versions or use multiple versions side by side as you please, and you can use whatever features you want from the home distro without impacting anything in your dev stack.
