> "the pro Linux distribution" i.e. not beginner friendly, but secretly still easy enough that you don't need much effort. That's a common perception of Debian, perhaps even more than Arch. One difference being that Debian actually has a lot of notable use in production. It's also just as stable as any "LTS" distro, which is a welcome convenience for many beginners as well as more experienced users.
