Maybe I'm alone in this, but while people often say they stick to Debian or Ubuntu based distros because they value stability, I swear it seems like I've had less issues with Arch / EndeavourOS, and I get all the latest features in a timely manner. Also, using anything but KDE now feels like downgrading from a supercar to a skateboard.

Doing an #introduction as I'm new to Friendica, which is quickly becoming one of my favorite ways to engage with the fediverse, and friendica.world. I'm always happy to meet people with similar interests, so feel free to boost / share!
I'm a human who loves weird art, all sorts of music (from Hindustani to Death Metal), tech, sunny days, green hills, incense, tea, spirits, soft couches, cats, and books. I'm a prolific vegan cook, and I design, code, write, play games, and produce, write, and play music for fun.

in reply to Nathan • • •I completely agree with you about Arch. I've been using it for over 10 years with no real problems. I have a 9 year old machine that is up to date and Arch was only ever installed once.
Ubuntu has always been frought with problems. Upgrades gone terribly wrong.
And so much else.
Fixes when can find them tend to be click this try that. Instead of go look at this wiki page and follow the instructions.
Arch based distros have more freedom, more choice and the best doc around. Rolling releases are the best.

in reply to Nathan • • •I'd say it's unfair to lump Ubuntu's issues with Debian. I've had systems run without issue for over a decade with Debian; only failure was due to faulty hardware. The few times I've tried Ubuntu, I've run into various issues caused by Canonical, whether UX or technical.
Most recently I installed Ubuntu on my parents desktop. They complained Firefox was closing on them randomly. Turns out snap was closing Firefox mid-use due to updates. Switched to Debian+Firefox/Flatpack, now zero complaints.
