I hear that a lot but, how bad is it really? Does it affect you (if you use Debian)? Aren’t there ways to install newer versions of most things that actually matter?

    the more software you install, that is not in the standard repo, the more unstable it will become…

    i use a rolling release distro on my desktop, void btw.
    on servers i use debian, because i want the software as reliable as possible. i don’t care if the packages are older as long as no update breaks the system…
