@fantuan https://www.getmonero.org/downloads/ has a list of all xmr wallets and what platforms they are all available on. As far as Linux goes, the specific distro doesn't make a difference. The main thing is if are you planning on running your own node or not. If so, you need to go with monero gui or monero cli. If not, I would go with feather. Better UI. I'm sure someone will have a more in depth and better answer for you, but you can at least get yourself familiar with what's available in the meantime.

@nemesis I just ran the GUI version and it seemed a bit laggy (maybe my graphics card driver isn't installed correctly). Then I checked and it didn't seem to be a Monerod issue, so I switched to CLI. But it seems CLI is harder to learn than GUI for this operation. I'm currently using both GUI and CLI, and I plan to learn CLI before abandoning GUI. Do you know of any quick CLI wikis or blogs you could recommend? Thanks (Tor or i2p are both fine).
@fantuan I don't use the cli version, so not sure. But this is from the getmonero site. It should have some answers for ya, cli use, how to set up tor and 12p, etc

As soon as I hit post, it occurred to me using arch you might have opted for the cli version. What do you mean by 'laggy' though? If you mean the initial sync of the node, that can take a couple days

@nemesis Uh, I'm a Chinese user, and because my English isn't very good, there might be some issues with the translator. What I probably meant was, "(I'm currently using both the GUI and CLI, and plan to learn the CLI before abandoning the GUI. Do you know any quick CLI wikis or blogs you could recommend?)" Also, I actually have access to Tor forums and I2P IRC, so I'm generally familiar with using anonymous networks; I just might need to memorize the startup parameters.
@fantuan Don't worry, the translation was fine. Here is the specific help for cli

Other than that, I would not know. I don't use the cli version
