You know what's crazy? Debian Stable is the first distro I ever broke.
I also found Arch way easier. sudo pacman -S whatever I want.
Debian is a nightmare if you're trying to do anything web3 related
This.
I use both. Although my heart leans towards Arch first, I find Debian to be not as tedious as people might say, to be honest.
Absolutely not, packages are too old, too long between releases, and too far behind on new technology/ too slow to adapt , no selinux or apparmor (well they have these packages available, but just the basics at best).
Edit: apparently Debian enabled apparmor in late 2022. Compair this to 2007 when it was enabled in Ubuntu.
I can't stand Debian and everyhting thats based on it. I have so much better experience with everything server related when using RedHat stuff or nowadays Almalinux. So much better. And why would I use Debian at home on a PC? Especially when you wanna play some games, too. There is no point.
The Debian project absolutely yes, but no Debian Stable is too much and unnecessarily outdated. Nowadays people are running testing or unstable and Debian will always treat those as dev channels and never as releases.
One must understand that the stability of Linux can at times be very dependent on the right hardware. For example, I had a problem with the Nvidia driver in Zorin, not exactly very good support. In Mint I didn't get any problem, nor in Manjaro. I am using Nvidia 2060 in the desktop computer. But when I tested zorin on the laptop with the intel graphics driver, I have no problem. And so you can just continue with any distro. But this does not automatically make a Linux distribution useless! People choose the distro that suits their taste, hardware etc, etc. Show some respect to those who spend hours, days and years developing free operating systems that you and I can freely download and use.
Therefore, this becomes a topic of discussion about which distro is stable or not! Believe me when I say it, there are very different opinions on this depending on who you ask. And such discussions lead nowhere. Even Windows can seem very stable to many. So one must rather discuss; what makes this or that distribution or specific desktop environment problematic for certain users! What can be done better? Hardware always has every problem for Linux, but this has also improved considerably in the last ten years. Serious discussions are not stupid! Just to say it; I never had a good experience with Debian, I think it is a bit problematic to install and set up compared to other more graphical distributions etc. Debian Stable? maybe! depends on what you mean by stable, what is stable or not in the specific distribution!
You say so much nonsense sometimes. And calling Linux Mint completely useless is some of the most disrespectful nonsense I've heard in a long time. What on earth made you say such a thing? I use Manjaro kde plasma on my stationary in the living room, where I mostly sit. But I use Linux Mint in my laptop computer in the kitchen, and I'm just as happy with it too. Stop throwing around your stupid untrue opinions about Linux.
