Any reason to use Arch over Debian testing? I want recent packages

>I want recent packages without having to fuck around a lot
In my experience, Arch takes way less fucking around than Debian. I don't get how Debian is so popular.

>>57921966
Yeah, the last time I tried to install Debian I just gave up and did Ubuntu because of some shit with my wifi adapter.

Depending on how new to Linux you are, and how refined your tastes are, apt is a clusterfuck piece of shit. However, if you plan to keep things basic, it's usable. Use whatever you think you can manage until you feel comfortable enough to move up a level.

>Theoretically debian is superior
Doesnt apt permit partial updates, mutiple versions and aren't debian repos qualitative superior?
Doesn't debian seperate its packages?

But installing/maintaining arch is actually a breeze and storage apace is cheap now.

>Question
Do you guys know wether tumbleweed is worth it?

>>57921966
My experience as well. Fuck all the repos and franken-debian shit you have to go through with testing repos and mirrors and shit. And fuck sjw's
Even Debian stable is full of bugs, just take a stroll around the cve lists or bugtracker and you'll realize"stable" is a meme.

why? it just werks. update and upgrade, ez.

Debian testing user here. I have tried almost every district under the sun. I started with Red Hat 9, followed by Slackware 9. Then I ran Debian 3.0 (sarge) for years on a server and I tried on the desktop OpenSuSE, Gentoo, Slax, Ubuntu, Puppy Linux, Linux From Scratch, Ångstrom Linux on a 1st Gen clickwheel iPod, Fedora, Arch, Void, and NetBSD, PC-BSD and FreeBSD from the BSDs. I always keep coming back to Debian because it just works. It has never crashed, failed or not booted on me.

I have Debian testing on both laptop and desktop. This is not going to change any time soon.

this desu. arch is a meme for a reason.

>i have no idea what stable means

>>57921944
If you aspire to be a womanly faggot then choose Arch.

Debian is a pure male distro - except for that faggot poetteringware.

I use Arch. Willing to switch if somebody can convince me why Debian is better. I know Arch is a meme, but I don't really get why people don't like it. I don't really like adding other people's repositories and keys and shit. Everything in Arch is in either the standard repos or the AUR, so pacman actually can manage everything without apt-get autoremove deleting all the packages you downloaded manually because they don't have a repository.

I am probably retarded. But why?

Apt is known for hosing your system if you happen to try to remove a seemingly innocuous package like mahjong or swell foop.

Opensuse tumbleweed is nice but i would rather go with Sabayon/Korora.

>>57924780
Some people complain that many AUR builds from arch are unprofessional, the official packages are not split and the usual systemd rants.
>>57926851
Korora is Fedorabased since 2010 would you still recomend it?
Will look into Sabayon perhaps its less timeconsuming than gentoo
