You should try out Arch linux or one of its derivatives. I never have any of the issue you're talking about, were almost always at the bleeding edge, and for packages that aren't, we have the AUR which is straightforward to build into your system from upstream git repositories.
- atoav 6y agoArch looks tempting but my feeling is that a lot of software built by devs who run Arch needs initial help to run on Ubuntu/Debian. The other way around works better (software built to run on the latest Debian usually runs everywhere). Maybe that observation is incorrect, please give me data points. Also this won't mean you have to run Debian (but maybe a VM with Debian in it).
- ghthor 6y agoIf you need to run something that only runs within debian, you'll likely be able to that in a straightforward way using LXC or docker containers. I wouldn't reach for a VM unless I needed the extra layer of security offered by the VM.
