Debian! Stable on the server (usually)

Sid on the personal machines.

I was running Arch for a while, but I got put off by three things bout it:

It's just not put together as well. Even under Sid I was way less likely to have a package up and break because it depended on the wrong version of something. Usually when it happened under Arch it was only AUR stuff, but not always.
I really despise the way Arch rips the documentation out of packages. Debian gives me the best of both worlds, I can install -doc packages if I want them and not if I don't.
Arch's approach to Haskell is /infamously bad/ if you're actually interested in doing any kind of Haskell development, to the point where they recommend you just not install it and use ghcup.
