  • Yes, the keyring is a pain, also because I like to manually check all the keys. But then what often happens is that lots of configuration options have changed and you have to go through bunch of software to find out which exact package is now misconfigured and makes your system not work as it should.




  • Would not advise Debian to a new user. Old packages and difficulties installing non free software may frustrate people.

    I did use Debian as my daily driver and I have it in a few servers, it is a very good system. But to the common user stability is not the priority which should prevail over everything else.














  • I used arch extensively. I still have it in a laptop I switch on from time to time. I stopped running it mostly because it is rolling release. I didn’t get many problems, but sometimes you do and sometimes you have to spend an hour figuring out what the problem is and how to fix it. I don’t want to wake up in the morning with an important video call set up and be unable to participate because the pipe wire config file has been corrupted during update.

    Other than that, arch is a good system. But I’d rather keep it on hardware I know I can be without for a day or two if the case comes up.
