Anything that has systemd by default can't be considered stable.

I ran it for a while, but about a month ago switched to Debian.

The problems I have with it:
1) while the package manager is quite good, there aren't that many package maintainers and it's unlikely you will find the latest packages for anything but the core (most popular) applications

2) the documentation is quite shit and severely lacking. I mean, not even all the package manager's functions are documented

3) the community isn't very friendly and is elitist

Other than that I loved it. It was stable, booted quickly, I had no problems setting up a basic system. I needed something that just works, with a large selection of packages.

If I were 14 again, I'd definitely put more effort into it, like I did when I started off with Slackware 9 as my first distro back in 2004, when I could spend hours a day fucking around with it. Sadly, I'm an adult now and I don't have time for a Linux distro to be my hobby.

When you settle down and just want a computer for computing, not dicking around with the OS every 5 minutes, Debian is your boy.

I'm thinking of trying NixOs, it sound interesting. Is one .conf for the whole system actually good or just a meme?
>>
>>54743578
the package manager is pretty great but i am not so sure about the rest. try guix as well if you are at it.
