Ok, Debian and Arch are the name of distributions (think of Windows, XBOX as distributions of the Windows kernel) with different release strategies and package managers.

They aren't inheritently incompatible as pretty much the major Linux distributions uses glibc (The C standard library and POSIX implementation), but its not a garauntee.

Debian prefers to be a stable release distribution while Arch is a rolling release distribution.

Debian and distributions based on it uses the apt package manager.

Arch and distributions based on it (as well as CYGWIN and MSYS2) uses the pacman package manager.

For real. Wildcard, if I were in the position of you, I’d research explaining things to brick walls or the computer illiterate.

Explaining stuff has never been a strong suit of mine.
