30 years on, Debian is at the heart of the most successful Linux distros

I think if you're finding debian too slow you're probably not valuing stability to the same level.

That's not a problem with debian, that's just a mismatch in needs, you're probably better off with a "less" stable operating system.

I'll be honest, i haven't had any stability issues with Fedora either, and i've been upgrading as often as i would with Debian. And in both cases, i'm using fairly old and known hardware (years old thinkpads, the T440 and the X270).

Ok, and when google starts deploying Gmail to old t440s running fedora I'll tell them the reliability "just as good as debian".
