  • Debian stable. I don’t understand why people would want an unstable system.

    I get wanting the latest applications, and by that I mean end-user tools one uses frequently, e.g. Blender or Steam, but for anything that those rely on, very very rarely does one genuinely need anything “new” urgently. I’d argue pretty much never but I’d be curious to discover counter examples. Just fa couple of days ago https://lemmy.ml/post/24882836/16154377 arguing about the topic too. Even for drivers for gaming, which are supposedly changing relatively “fast” there is rarely an actual need for it. Quite often it’s a desire to get the latest but the actual impact is not that significant.

    TL;DR: IMHO stable system with security updates running few bleeding edge apps isolated is the best compromise.
