Couldn’t agree more. Arch is great if you need a malleable distro, Debian is for everything (else).

Debian is great if you want a stable distro. If you want the latest software run… Debian + Flatpak

Do you install ffmpeg via Flatpak?

In the spirit of your comment though, I have been meaning to try Debian Stable with Distrobox / Arch.

I don’t know about you, but I don’t mail my disteos; rsync is much faster.

I’ve not used Gentoo in years but I really ought to give it another go. Do you still have to compile everything from scratch or are there binary repos now?

Maybe soon?

Bu the more you diverge from the default the more portage will compile packages for your setup.

Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
