I don’t have time for my system to be borked every 2 years. That’s why I use Arch.

It is. The defaults are a little bit more lenient, but it shouldn’t gobble up 80 GB of storage.

It’s still just one factor. You just secured it better.

Debians official resources are often outdated, fragmented and not comprehensive in the slightest. I had to scour email list and random blog post if I had to deal with some Debian tooling problems. It’s only saving grace, is that it fairly widespread, and that there are these random blog posts.
