Been daily driving Arch for 6 months now, but considering moving back to Debian. Not really taking full advantage of the Arch pros

While a bleeding-edge kernel is great, I don’t particularly need it. pacman is nice, but apt gets the job done too. Has anyone else switched from Arch to @debian? If so, did you miss anything from Arch that Debian couldn’t replicate?

    I ran EndeavorOS (easy arch) switched to MxLinux to get back to “Debian” style OS. Decided I needed stability over Bleeding edge. Apt is my go-to and is what I am comfortable with. Might just not be an “I use arch btw” kind of person.

      I’ve been surprised by the ease of use and stability of MX Linux, they also maintain a repo with some key packages updated, like Firefox. It’s Debian Stable with a few tricks up its sleeve.
