    Not liking Arch is exclusively a skill issue. You may prefer stable release distros, but you won’t find a rolling release distro better than Arch.

        My favourite thing about Arch is pretty much always finding up-to-date versions of the software I am looking for in either the repos or the AUR. This includes commercial stuff like Rider, Postman, and Burp Suite.

        It is also great to always have an up-to-date kernel. I started using bcachefs just days after support was added to the kernel ( as an example ).

        Do you always find what you want in the Debian repos? What do you do when you don’t?

        I love Debian, but isn’t testing frozen for some time before the release of the next stable? I think during the freeze you won’t even get security updates.

      I agree that Arch ( well Arch and EOS ) is the best rolling distro but I am not sure I am willing say this not liking it is a skill issue.

      Not liking things is a preference. People are allowed to disagree. They are just not allowed to misrepresent the facts.
