Aren’t Debian and Arch philosophic opposites though?

Arch is bleeding edge yet permanently issue prone, Debian is stable and conservative/slow in updating?

Seems odd to jump from one end of the spectrum to another (I use Debian and Mint mostly but have respect for the Arch project’s aims)

In the five years I have used Arch, I have not had a single issue.

What were you doing with Arch where you had this experience? I’ve been using it for more than ten years on a variety of hardware and everything has always just worked, but I see this complaint a lot and I’m confused about where it comes from.

Oh I can’t change distros now because of philosophy?
