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.

Debian testing enters the room
My favourite thing about Arch is pretty much always finding up-to-date versions of the software I am looking for in either the repos or the AUR. This includes commercial stuff like Rider, Postman, and Burp Suite.
It is also great to always have an up-to-date kernel. I started using bcachefs just days after support was added to the kernel ( as an example ).
Do you always find what you want in the Debian repos? What do you do when you don’t?
I love Debian, but isn't testing frozen for some time before the release of the next stable? I think during the freeze you won't even get security updates.
