Hey now! I had been using Arch and Debian om different machines. All non-prod machines have since been moved to Arch because I was having more issues with Debian. Granted I require running the newest stable software, but the act of getting that software onto my Debian machines was breaking other things. Arch? Never had to mess with anything I didn't want to mess with (I use i3 and write most of my own utilities)!
Not really. I made that choice. I also run/ran the exact same setup on my Debian machines. Could use my wife's machine as an example. Runs Arch, uses Plasma for a WM and never has any problems.
I don't doubt it. I use i3 & arch at home and have for almost a decade without problems. I use i3 and debian at work and enjoy it far less. I'm merely stating that your exactly the kind of person that likes to tinker with things and is likely not just going to accept defaults.
