Curious about one thing. You say Debian is more secure. What do you mean? How? Not disagreeing just curious.
well one can't be 100% sure on that as it depends on other factors...but having everywithng updated as soon is it's out by the devs can bring a lot of bugs, including security bugs. Take the xzutils for example, arch almost fell into it, as debian stable would take much more and many more eyes looking at the core before upgrade that package.

Yeah, that makes sense

the critics on debian(stable) on the other side is that it takes too long to update. But as my experience goes being many years on linux as as a sysadmin my opinion is that debian is still more secure than others taking a standard isntall and use.

FWIW I always use Debian on a server for these reasons.

it simply works

It is absurdly reliable on servers. I haven't used the Desktop... I do want the newest packages. I need that as a dev. Its a tradeoff.
