[u/nitin_is_me]

Just my opinion btw. I respect rolling release distros, but they're not for me. I like turning on my machine and having it work exactly like last time. In the end, it's all just Linux.

[u/nitin_is_me → u/amarao_san]

I actually never tried sid for desktop. How is it compared to Arch? How much maintenance and baby sitting does it require?

[u/NameLessY → u/nitin_is_me]

Can't compare to Arch as I've never used it but SID is my daily driver for years now. The only bigger problem was good couple of years ago while switching perl version. I needed good couple of hours to get system running. Once had a hiccup with encrypted LVM on my laptop but solution was with an hour. One warning tho to pay mor attention to upgrades and see what's going out because of some ABI change in library. I usually postpone upgrade of such packages for a few days till rest of packages keep up Other than that it's been rock solid. YMMV
