In my limited experience, there are basically two flavors of Linux:
- Latest software, everything’s available but it breaks a lot.
- Doesn’t update frequently, might have to be cautious with third-party software but very stable.
As I’ve gotten busier, my preference for stable distros like Debian has grown. I think there’s also a lot of value in trying for due diligence the first time you install a distro. It’s much simpler to take the time and do it correctly than to try and fix it afterwards. Sometimes it takes a few attempts to get everything set up correctly, but it’s worth it long term.
