I'm curious what do people here consider "old" since that's the top complaint about Debian? It's never more than a year or two behind "bleeding edge" distros. When I think "old", I'm thinking 10, 15 years ago. That's considered "old" in the Windows world, but I guess that's super ancient geological history in the Linux world.
@TimeSquirrel @RmDebArc_5 @nottheengineer @SomeBoyo @dustyData For gaming one year is old, you want the latest drivers in order to achieve maximum performance ( * or at least increase your chances to ).
For office or media consumption maybe one year isn't old at all.
Thats what I believe
As not a gamer, I keep forgetting about games and that people also use computers to play them.
@TimeSquirrel @RmDebArc_5 @nottheengineer @SomeBoyo @dustyData Imo gaming is the only reason to use bleeding edge distros. Otherwise is risky, your system could break with every update.
Even though I said that I also use Arch for uni stuff, but I have everything backed on my own server and in the case of system failure I can simply reinstall arch and mount my network drive again
