Been daily driving Arch for 6 months now, but considering moving back to Debian. I'm not really taking full advantage of many of the benefits that Arch offers.

While a bleeding-edge kernel is great, I don't particularly need it. Pacman is nice, but apt gets the job done too. Has anyone else switched from Arch to Debian? If so, did you miss anything from Arch that Debian couldn't replicate?

I ran EndeavorOS (easy arch) switched to MxLinux to get back to “Debian” style OS. Decided I needed stability over Bleeding edge. Apt is my go-to and is what I am comfortable with. Might just not be an “I use arch btw” kind of person.

I’ve been surprised by the ease of use and stability of MX Linux, they also maintain a repo with some key packages updated, like Firefox. It’s Debian Stable with a few tricks up its sleeve.
