    I tried debian stable a week or two ago. Had about 4 different showstopper bugs in 3 or so days. It doesn’t seem to help much from my limited experience.

      Huh. Are you running any kind of exotic setup? What kind of bugs were they? Can you be sure they were Debian bugs and not hardware issues?

        Yes. I had both actually. Hardware and debian specific bugs, on a clean install from the live iso with barely any packages installed from apt and like 10 flatpaks. I’m a bit exhausted rn to find all the links. But let me find at least the worst one for ya.

        This was the most egregious one. essentially. On a fresh install updating was broken. Yeah. It was that bad.

        In addition to that there was the amd ftpm stutter. Which isn’t necessarily debians fault. But it’s still bad.

        And I was having screen flickers. Not sure why. I was tired enough of it bugging out that I just gave up on the stable dream and went back to arch.
