Difference is, on Debian you can leave machine without updates for few months, while on arch you will have troubles if you don’t update for a week, also if you install Linux for your relative, it’s better to do debian based distro because of this update cycle since normies don’t update their machines every other day, source: I’m daily driving Linux for 9 years on all my machines and some of them lay around untouched for months, also installed mint on relatives PCs, edit: P.S don’t know why you get downvoted so much, you generally right but nuances is wrong, anyway, i upvoted you bro, and about yt-dlp on stable, you should install it from python pip repository to have newest version, I’m using yt-dlp on lmde6 and have newest version and it works great
I heard this so many times that I really believed arch was so brittle that my system would become unbootable if I went on vacation. Turns out updating it after 6 months went perfectly fine.
I updated arch after two months and it broke completely, i guess it’s because i had unfathomable amount of packages and dependencies, so it varies from person to person, if you keep your system light then it may work like it worked for you, if you install giant amount of packages and dependencies then it would work like it worked for me
