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

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.

Refer to the meme - “Linux users and other Linux users”

I use Arch btw

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.

But it looks like it can only do Pascal? Like. Sorry but you can’t just come out of the corner and say that coding is great on debian because my special IDE for only one single programming langauge exists.

What if I don’t want to learn a seventh programming language? What if I want to continue my C++ project in NeoVim? I dont want to rewrite something entirely. Same for PHP, Rust, C, Python.

Your IDE doesn’t even support the most important way of editing code. Vim mode.
