    This list is accurate except for Debian. Debian can do no wrong.

      No way, Debian stable is completely useless as a distro unless you’re in to time machines and like the feeling of being stuck 5 years behind the curve

        If you have a device with a specific usage, then its more than perfect as its stable.

        Only need to draw and write documents on a portable convertable? Suits nicely.

        Want to code on that thing too? Uh. Idk. Use other distro, would be much easier as debian sucks in this category.

        Run Debian testing or get packages from backports if you need newer packages. It’s still more stable than a rolling distro.

        Debian stable is great if you value stability over everything else, for example on a server, or a desktop PC you want to “just work”. Major updates happen around once every 2 years, not 5 years.
