For some time I’ve been wondering if, in the context of low-effort system maintenance, the occasional breakage in a rolling distro like Archlinux or Gentoo (with an auto-update cron job even!) is a lower impact×risk than attempting a set&forget Ubuntu/Debian/CentOS 10-year LTS install.

Debian is a free operating system (OS) for your computer. An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run. Debian provides more than a pure OS: it comes with over 59000 packages, precompiled software bundled up in a nice format for easy installation on your machine.
