    Debian is the only distro you can setup with unattended upgrades and not have any issues or changes. Debian also has quick security patches compared to well know stability like RHEL.

    I’ve setup Debian to host a few services in the past only to completely forget about it. It ran for years without me touching it.

      Eh, updates still break things on Debian just like on Arch. It may happen less often but when you do run into problems, you’re completely screwed. I updated to Debian 12 like a year ago and still haven’t fixed all the issues because it’s a server and reinstalling the entire OS is completely out of the question and a beyond reasonable amount of work. On Arch, stuff breaks more often but the saving grace is that everything breaks often enough that you can count on there being an up to date wiki page for whatever problems you run into. On Debian if something semi obscure breaks, that feature is gone for good if you hate format and reinstalls.

      Tbf, I did eventually get everything except zoneminder (and the ability to automatically reconnect to wifi when it loses connection WITHOUT HUMAN INTERVENTION) working again on my Debian server but the fact is it 100% worked before the update.

        I run two Debian servers since Debian 11, with unattended upgrades, never had anything break from that.

      I’m running debian Trixie with kde plasma.

      Only issues that annoy me:

      Two monitor setup. It often forgets my second screen and sometimes it’s moves the window out of the the still recognised one. Only a reboot fixes it.

      Sound: pipewire has some issues especially with wine where there’s a sound pitch fragment that every so often makes the audio distorted.
