Stole from an online comment:
- Is your hardware ten years old or more?
- Do you want a system made up of software that is on average 3 years old?
- Do you want absolutely ridiculous stability for the uptime memes?
- Are you a fan of the idea that every design decision should be done by a committee of theoretically democratically chosen developers but is actually just whoever wants the job because there is never any real transparency or motion about when the meetings are, much less when elections are?
- Does the idea of your operating system being compatible not because its good but because it’s just the largest base thanks to corporate investment make you moist?
Then pick Debian.
If you answered no to literally any of those options then go ahead and pick an Arch flavour, or Arch itself.
I’m not tolerating an Arch flavour but otherwise good comparison.
