Lol is Debian not still the "I don't wanna fuck with this too much" distro? On the complicated spectrum, I think Debian fell pretty fairly in the approachable side :D
It absolutely is. I don’t think it’s too popular for gaming given you’re not getting the latest and greatest by default. Arch being up top doesn’t surprise me at all. I know people who use Arch, btw.
You just have to use debians rolling release. Debian-testing
I find the popularity if Arch frustrating. Not that I have anything against it but because I worry people will go to arch and get scared away from Linux as a whole. I'm on Ubuntu and fedora and both those distros just work with no screwing around. Its so chill.
