so a common claim I see made is that arch is up to date than Debian but harder to maintain and easier to break. Is there a good sort of middle ground distro between the reliability of Debian and the up-to-date packages of arch?

    It is updated almost everyday. That doesn’t seem very stable as it is constantly changing

      Well, it is. Is so stable that many of Arch users install Arch once and don’t have to format the computer again in years.

      Of course you can’t say that Arch is as stable as Debian, cause it’s not. But it’s totally unfair compare these distros, cause the use cases are completely different.

      Don’t use a ruler to measure how loud a sound is.
