I work with Debian and i3wm, but that's because I'm familiar with both and my software needs are minimal. Debian is pretty stable, but barebones. Everything you install will work, but you may as well go with Linux Mint Debian Edition if your endgoal is similar.
Fedora and OpenSuse are other candidates for well supported distros, without doing all the work like with Arch Linux.
- 999900000999 2y agoI ran into an issue with one of my Linux Mint installs I completely broke the desktop. I really want to develop for raspberry pi as well , which is infinity easier on a Debain Distro. I'm probably going to use Mint again, but I'll consider other Debain distros.
