How the hell is arch more stable than Debian?
In my experience they're the same from a reliability standpoint. Stuff on Arch will break for no reason after an update. Stuff on Debian will break for no reason after an update. It's just as difficult to solve reliability problems on both.
Because Debian isn't a rolling release you will often run into issues where a bug got fixed in a future version of whatever program it is but not the one that's available in the repository. Try using yt-dlp on any stable Debian installation and it won't work for example.
Arch isn't without its issues. Half of the good stuff is on the AUR, and fuck the AUR. Stuff only installs without issues half the time. Good luck installing stuff that needs like 13+ other AUR packages as dependencies because non of that shit can be installed automatically. On other distros,all that stuff can be installed automatically and easily with a single command.
I use Arch btw.
I have never had anything break on Debian. It has been running for years on attended upgrades
