Sometimes, I feel sick of such simplistic questions. They look like they're just for triggering people to response.

Last is not linux based though.

If you want people to help you, it would be good if you weren't so condescending...
Edit: Grammar.
Arch
Thanks to Pacman and the AUR there is an extensive list of apps to install very easily.
And you don't have to keep the build dependencies on your system, so you have more disk space.
It's lightweight and efficient
Arch is also not more lightweight than other distributions.
With Arch, unlike other distributions, there are no extra dev packages. Thus, everything is present in a single package, so they require more storage space.
Arch's packages also have fixed dependencies on other packages, which in turn have other dependencies. So you can't only install what you actually want, which is often claimed. For example, I would like to uninstall various Bluetooth packages, but I can't because they are dependencies for packages I use.
The basic installation including base-devel requires more than 1 GB of storage space without the GUI. Some distributions need less including the GUI.
There are indeed more lightweight distros. But if you want something that "works out of the box", contrary to, say, PuppyLinux or Gentoo, then Arch is interesting.
It is however harder to configure than Fedora, Manjaro, SuSE, etc. It's a great inbetween.

Frankly, you're being obnoxious.
Debian
Personally, I currently prefer Arch for the following reasons.
If I had to choose another distribution, it would definitely be OpenSuse. Their rolling version, Tumbleweed, is also highly recommended.
Arch Linux
More up to date software (mostly).
It offers choice for advanced users and developers.
Incapable of following simple instructions and using Arch? I doubt it.
Debian and FreeBSD
Zorin OS
It is a very clean and neat Linux distro.
It is easily customizable (via a preinstalled app) and is intuitive for Windows and MacOS users.
There is no need to tweak anything to get it working

You should carefully review anything you install from AUR. No review happens there at all. Everyone can upload anything he likes.
Yes, and PKGBUILD files with bad intentions have been published there in the past (https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2018-July/034151.html).
But both Manjaro (https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository) and vanilla Arch (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_User_Repository) point out the possible dangers clearly enough in my opinion. Apart from that, it is definitely easier for users to check for example the PKBUILD files in the AUR than ready-made packages in a PPA for Ubuntu.
Wtf is going on here
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.
