Actually I'm using Debian stable, but soon I'm going to reinstall OS. I'm not sure which distro is better for programmer: Debian Testing or Manjaro? In Manjaro I have the newest versions of packages, libraries, etc, but Debian is more stable. Is Manjaro as bloated as Ubuntu?

I don't want to use Arch, i really don't have time to configure everything, want it working out of the box.

A programmer can work with any *nix systems

Tumbleweed
Actually arch doesn't need to be configured that much and its easier to maintain than its deviates.

Strongly suggest you use the same distro as your primary base. Once that works, you can run the other distros on VMs to work out compatibility issues.

Debian stable could be better than anything else for a programmer. Why? because with Manjaro or any other rolling distro you don't know if the PC is gonna start up properly on the next boot(inb4 autistic Arch users going apeshit over this) no matter how good you are at maintaining your shit. Debian stable is most secure and refined out of every fixed/stable distros out there. trust me, stick with it.

VMs are bloat

Install gentoo

Have you considered debian sid, anon?
It will give you even more bleeding edge software than debian testing.
Basically the way arch gets you bleeding edge software is it gives you tools to make it easier to compile those fresh packages yourself.
All you have to do is learn how to compile those packages in debian and you will get a similar thing.
These are the people that occupy 4chins now? Holy shit. Fuck this place.

Why would I use stable over testing? Testing is pretty damn stable already.
