Arch and Debian user here. I find that hard to believe. I love using Arch and I am fine with the occasional (though rare) update problem, because I'm the only user of my system and I'm learning something when something stops working. But Debian stable is really stable, because other Distros ironed out the bugs before the version came into stable.
- nicce 5y agoI can count myself as hardcore user as well. Mainly using Arch Linux, but for servers and some build environments using Debian and Alpine. It is always Debian which has a package with a bug and it is not updated for some reason. I work with quite complex systems like using libguestfs and somehow it has always broken dependency in some narrow use case. These are often fixed on Arch already, but in Debian you might need to wait a year for official fix.
- doublepg23 5y agoBased on my time with Arch, I’d agree. The fact is bugs exist even given N amount of time to find them, what matters is how quickly they are fixed - and it doesn’t get much faster than Arch.
