I agree with that point. Debian has a repository known as backports (https://backports.debian.org/ https://backports.debian.org/). But they note that it is not as well tested as the stable repository, and it is on an as-is basis, so not all packages are in there.
However, Debian Stable is not the distro you want to run if you want the latest packages. I think Ubuntu and Arch are two distros that do that more? I have not looked around for new distros in several years, Debian is my OS of choice.
- IncRnd 8y agoI've used debian and arch (on different machines of course) for years. I like that debian never breaks. On the other hand, I like the rolling release model of arch. :)
- kop316 8y agoI get that! I used to do the Debian testing "rolling" release and really liked it. Sometime I will try Arch.
