I have to agree with you on Debian as far as stability is concerned. Debian is a top-notch server OS.
But they removed a few of my favorite desktop programs from their stable repo and that had me fuming !!! I only want to run stable, not testing. They also compartmentalized Python’s pip3 into local user virtualenv, which I do not like since I use sand-boxing to invoke pip apps anyway.
That said, after many years of trying different distros I always kept coming back to Debian and that is where I’m staying.
I’ve only had bad experiences with debian. First off the installer is broken, second apt is a fucking mess compared to the best package manager, emerge, and third I’ve had bootloader issues(or lack of bootloader issues) when trying to install.
