Is this some kind of 9D ironic meme?

With the Debian 9 release yesterday, I was thinking of switching to it from Manjaro. Should I do it? My main concerns here are:
1. Compared to Arch/Manjaro, how big are the repos (in actual applications)? Will I be able to install more software from outside (.deb files, PPA...)?
2. Will I be able to get software updates that are not just security? I don't care too much about cutting edge but I really don't want to be using the same old version of Firefox/LibreOffice/Whatever for 2 years....
3. Is Debian Stable actually stable, or will it break as soon as I try to remove unneeded shit or switch display managers/desktops?

>How to assemble a PC, select components & more (kind of outdated)
https://wiki.installgentoo.com/index.php?title=Build_a_PC

If you want help:
>State the budget for your build (and country if not the USA).
>List games/software you use often, as well as your monitor resolution + refresh rate.
>Clarify your goal for build improvements: lower price or improved specs?

CPUs:
>G4560 - Budget builds (<$500)
>R5 1500x - All you really need for 60fps with power to spare; Don’t get an i5 right now.
>R5 1600 - Best value for higher fps gaming / mixed usage; Get a 1600x if you don't OC
>R7/Xeon/Threadripper - Compute/Multitask/mixed use; Not required for just gaming.

GPUs:
>Integrated CPU Graphics - Desktop stuff and very light games
>RX 560 and GTX 1050Ti - Lower end budget cards, drop settings on newer games
>RX570 - 1080p@60hz at high, running most maxed older games at 144+hz
>RX580 and GTX1060 - 1080p@60hz maxed, 1440p@60hz at lower settings; Go for the RX580 if you can.
>GTX 1070 - 1080p@144hz /1440p@60hz at high
>GTX 1080 - 1080p@144hz / 1440p@60hz maxed, 4k@60hz in a few games; Probably the highest end card you need for 1080p/1440p.
>GTX 1080 Ti - 1440p@144 hz and 4k@60hz maxed/high in many games; You're kind of going overboard with this one.
>Titan XP - 4k@60hz maxed in most, if not all games; You don't need this unless you're curing cancer or something.

General:
>ALWAYS LOOK AT PRODUCT REVIEWS!
>Always consider an SSD. Try buying a large SSD for what you'd pay for your SSD+HDD combined, and add a HDD later
>NVMe SSDs aren't for a faster OS boot, they're for productivity/scratch disk/VMs. NVMe and M.2 are not the same thing, M.2 is a form factor.

Please be nice to people asking questions. No fanboy arguments please.

How do I get better at programming /g/?

I can complete personal projects by hacking together a solution using what I already know but then I have no idea if my implementation is optimal or completely terrible.

Even if I do manage to figure out a more efficient way to structure the program after creating it, usually my actual implementation is so different that changing it would require a whole rewrite which doesn't seem worth my time doing.

How can I practice programming whilst getting feedback on if what I'm doing is good or not?

If Wayland is the "Linux desktop" then all the advantages are gone.
You do know that Wayland's design effectively destroys any choice and customization right? Wayland's protocol is basically an isolation prison that requires "big DE's" and destroys choice. The protocol moves everything into one central place called the "compositor" this machinery must provide:

- the window manager
- the hotkey daemon
-the compositing effects
-the windowing server
-screen reading tools
-screenshots
-screen casting
-magnifying glass tools
-global dictionary tools
-etc etc etc everything.

Wayland's design makes it impossible to write a portable hotkey daemon for instance. Supposedly for "security reasons". Wayland is a GNOME dev's dream, it kills the ability of people to control their own system. If you're actually excited for Wayland you either thoroughly misunderstand what it brings and just like it because it's new or you're a drooling GNOME-lover who hates customization.

I think I'm finally ready to install Gentoo.

I've mocked you guys for a long time but I think I've finally realised that Microsoft no longer has the general public's best interest at heart.
Why do you guys recommend gentoo ? Why not Ubuntu ?

With the latest multi-process update and its interface that is still better than Chrome's, I'm thinking about getting Firefox back as my main browser again.

My last problem with it is security : I know that it wasn't sandboxed for a long time (Chrome, IE, Edge, Opera and Safari are), and it seemed to be the least secure of all. Now I heard that they had begun to sandbox tabs, but I can't find anything on it.

Is it sandboxed yet ? Can I trust it ?

Hello /g/ I need your advice. I am looking for a Linux distribution that will fit on a standard 700mb CD. I already have tried Lubuntu and Xubuntu so these fall out of the question because I wanted to try something new. What do you think are the best (Besides the ones that were mentioned) Linux distros at 700mb max?
