    I disagree with Debian because it has old packages and you will constantly have issues that are already fixed in the new versions. Specially if you run Plasma desktop or anything where lots of bugs are fixed constantly.

    I think you will not have a great experience with Debian to be honest, but that being said, I have only ran it once for a few weeks. It was very frustrating for me to not have modern versions of software.

    One guy below in the comments says he is happy with Gnome 43 which was released 18 months ago I believe. That’s what I’m talking about. You will lack almost two years of new features, bug fixes and improvements.

    All this because people believe it’s more stable. But it’s not more stable at all, it’s just old already fixed bugs instead of new bugs.

      You can get more updated packages by running debian testing, which is quite stable. Debian also is more stable. Security patches are still brought to the main release, making it secure. The stability comes from the lack of a lot of new updates which come with a lot of new bugs.
