    > “Want to code on that thing too? Uh. Idk. Use other distro, would be much easier as debian sucks in this category.”

    Not if one is using the ultimate secret weapon of coding: Lazarus.

    Nothing comes close for rapid development of Linux applications. And I mean nothing. Need to make a networking application. Built-in. Choose from several GUI kits such as GTK, QT, FLTK, FpGUI? Built-in. Need to create an operating system? Drop down some inline assembler for the BIOS loader and do the EFI PXE in Lazarus or any other editor, and point your kernel to your FreePascal binaries.

    Almost anything you can do with C, you can do with FreePascal and Lazarus with the world’s best free RAD IDE and a bazillion units built in. I have found no single IDE that has so much just ready to patch together into a working Linux application.

    I have to agree with you on Debian as far as stability is concerned. Debian is a top-notch server OS.

    But they removed a few of my favorite desktop programs from their stable repo and that had me fuming !!! I only want to run stable, not testing. They also compartmentalized Python’s pip3 into local user virtualenv, which I do not like since I use sand-boxing to invoke pip apps anyway.

    That said, after many years of trying different distros I always kept coming back to Debian and that is where I’m staying.
