Some mix of wrong and right, the exact proportions of which I’ll leave as an exercise to the reader.

    As an inexperienced user, I can tell you that Debian is way harder to use than most people think. Out of the box, the distro is pretty bare ones. I’m having a blast using an Arch based distro, but on Debian I had to do everything manually. Stable is freaking old and unstable has lots of limitations, Docker for example is a true pain.

    Ubuntu, Mint, Zorin, POP OS, are way better than Debian for users like me.

          Arch based, not the same thing. Crystal Linux bundles everything out of the box, so noobs like me don’t have to do anything.

      Stable is freaking old and unstable.

      I ll give you old but not at all unstable, wonder what instability have you found in LTS.

        A lot of people (incorrectly) equate “stable” with “bug-free”. So conversely, having bugs would be “unstable”.

        Pretty sure the whole statement is

        Stable is freaking old, and unstable has lots of limitations

        I don’t think they’re saying Debian LTS is unstable.

          Exactly what my bad wording meant to say. Thank you for your extraordinary reading comprehension.
