      I’m gonna say “no”, but just by personal preference.
      I agree that, if you’re skilled enough, 90% of distributions out there are completely useless once Arch and Debian are available.

        Couldn’t agree more. Arch is great if you need a malleable distro, Debian is for everything (else).

          Debian is great if you want a stable distro. If you want the latest software run… Debian + Flatpak

            Do you install ffmpeg via Flatpak?

            In the spirit of your comment though, I have been meaning to try Debian Stable with Distrobox / Arch.

            I’ve not used Gentoo in years but I really ought to give it another go. Do you still have to compile everything from scratch or are there binary repos now?

      I’ve used Arch on many different computers over the years. It’s not stable, it breaks. I don’t understand why it’s great. Debian (minimal install) is better.

        I’ve only had one problem with arch (it broke after an update once) except for that one problem it was always very stable and solid in my experience.

        Debian is too “old” for me. I prefer bleeding edge and i refuse to use any flatpaks or such because they are a pain in the ass to set up right in my experience
