^ This is perfect statement why Arch will never replace workstations or server machines. Lot of people feel it's cool to fiddle around with file system/configuration to make it work (and they think thats cool Linux), it's not! You don't want to fiddle around with OS to make things work or just works out of the box. Debian is 100% suited for dev centric/work station centric environment once you configure, you can use it for years without worrying what might break tomorrow.

That has been exactly the case with me and Arch.
And your comment is not just wrong, but it's condescending too.

You're way too overconfident. I use a Debian derivative at $work (because I don't have a choice), and we are constantly having to work around the fact that the software in its repos is ancient.
I love NixOS but the way Flakes are written, it's not stealing mindshare from the mainstream distros anytime soon. Flakes could have been a chance to write Nix comprehensibly but it reads like a layer of complication on top an already complicated language model.
