He's nervous. But on the surface he looks calm and ready to retry.
I started my Linux journey in the 90's with Red Hat Halloween. I'm sick and tired of troubleshooting and Debian based distros have been fully painless. Those of you learning your craft should absolutely try to manage things like Arch, just leave my old and tired ass be and I'll sit here with my old kernel and cheer you on.
Yup - if your goal is to use Linux to learn how Linux works and how it's all put together then Arch is awesome. If you've got stuff to do and Linux is a tool to reach another goal, not so much. I like my tools to be stable, reliable and predictable.
There's the old saying that Debian is available in three flavours: Stale, rusting and broken.

FTFY
I really like Debian, but for some reason my not-new-laptop didn't liked it. Issues with suspend, the WiFi and the NVME drive made me to nuke it last Wednesday and in its place I installed Fedora, which seems to play better with the hardware. At least I don't have problems with it in my desktop.
If you're running Debian stable, your hardware was probably too new for the kernel. Unless they changed their development paradigm when I last ran it, stable is always 2-3 years behind mainline Linux software aside from security patches. It's one of the key reasons why it's so stable.
See the on the official wiki.
I mean, my laptop is a Dell from 2018-2019 with a 8th gen Core i5, so I don't think is too "new" π€·π»ββοΈ.
Go to debian-testing. Your dayli updates are back too
Been there, done that. It wasn't a bad experience, but also not a good one.
A testing/sid hybrid is awesome on my hardware. These guides are pretty useful for keeping things sane:
Can I talk about our lord and saviour, NixOS, in these parts?
I've tried nix and its just not it. Its got cool ideas tho!
Well, Debian Sid is rolling-release if that's your liking
As a Debian user I agree with Loius Rossmann's sage advice.
Edit: (make sure you enable unattended security upgrades at least so you can pretend that you only update once every few months)
For those missing context, Rossman uses a software that helps view the layout of Mac hardware... and it breaks literally constantly.
That made me laugh at my work desk ty
I use BSD BTW
Freebsd be like: where getopt
Specifically, OpenBasedSecureDistro, with a desktop environment, for gaming
Please send help, thanks
i use void linux and apparently it is a stable rolling release
Yeah and I'm a small-headed Arch user
Are you me?) P.s been daily driving arch for 5 years and now switching back to Debian
Use MX Linux instead, it's all the power of Debian with up to date everything.
It is? I don't see a mention of that on there website
Well, I have kernel 6.5.10, latest Firefox (in .deb) etc
Arch + debian = opensuse TW
Explain
You will have a rolling release distribution similar to Arch, with the newest and freshest updates. However, it will be more stable than Arch because it undergoes thorough testing to ensure everything works fine. Additionally, there is a new tested stable update available almost every day. I recommend doing a little research about openSUSE Tumbleweed. It will help you stop distro hopping and allow you to focus more on productivity rather than fixing bugs (like with Arch).
I would advise against any rolling distro if you use Nvidia drivers and CUDA. When I was using Tumbleweed it kept breaking with kernel updates. This was common in the forums. I had to pin my kernel to an older version to fix it. It was not ideal.
I've come full circle back to Debian stable. I'm sure at some point I'll need a newer package and be frustrated again. When the time comes, perhaps I'll try distrobox if I can't easily backport it.
I have been running Manjaro(I know not arch) and have been happy with it. But I will definitely give tumbleweed a look. I like knowing I have the latest versions of things.
I love opensuse and I've switched back to it from arch on two of my three computers, but the one thing I miss is the speed of pacman. I'll be working on something with an arch user and need to install something new and by the time zypper has refreshed the repos, pacman will have completely finished the whole installation
Never had any issues with Arch
