What do you think about Debian? I use Arch for my desktop but Debian for my server.

ubuntu is great.

Use Gentoo for your desktop, nerd.
It actually works.
It's fine. Like most distros it's not good or bad, just slightly different.

I use Debian Stable for my desktop and laptop because it does what I need and it's stable as fuck.
Debian applies deeply flawed policies in a deeply flawed manner
>Audits? Who needs em?
>No bug reports = no bugs, clear for stable (but it's an old version with a fraction of the users, so bug reports are less likely regardless of the presence of bugs)
>Backport later = secure, update in the first place = less secure (reality: backporting can be worse, but is rarely better)
>Everything is the system, everything is debian, even the web browser is debian (maintainer attention is spread out all over the fucking place and programs that have no business being server-grade stable are painfully outdated. if there is a buggy release, you need the whole thing or many shared libs from it if you want one program to be up to date)
OpenBSD is basically debian done right
>OpenBSD is part of upstream and contributes
>OpenBSD audits in addition to exercising basic caution
>OpenBSD has a clear separation between "OpenBSD" and "All the random shit you piled on top of it", simplifying support and allowing more focus on things that are more relevant to the use cases where stability and security are truly important

Jokes aside, is Gentoo viable as a Desktop OS? Or does everything break once a week like Arch?
>>53695504
I use Debian testing as my main OS for 5 years now, it's clearly a god-tier distro for me

Kill yourself
>>53696108
I'm not joking
Pacman sucks
AUR is for children who can't compile
>>53696108
Gentoo has portage, it basically fixes everything wrong with Arch.
Also compile flags, those are cool too.
