i used to use debian stable, until one day i found out that gimp 2.10 had been out for several months (over half a year iirc) while stable was still on 2.8, at which point i switched to testing
i switched to arch in 2017 or so after reading that a long-standing issue with my laptop had been fixed in the latest linux kernel, and then realising that said linux kernel version wouldn't be arriving on debian for like a year, and that arch had it mere days after release
@lynnesbian I feel this. I'm using debian stretch at work. It's so annoying to know about bug fixes that are not available yet because it was fixed "only" 3 years ago... π
