Why do you use the linux distro that you do?
Just kinda woke up in the mood to hear about how people chose their distros today. Mostly interested in desktop use more than servers, unless you feel like your story there is particularly interesting. I assume some desktop choices will also just be "it's the first thing I tried and it works".
To those of you that use Arch or related specifically because you don't like packages being too out of date: what kind of stuff do you dislike being out of date?
I recently swapped to effectively Debian testing, the testing part being due to my experience with the distro ages ago when Stable was "a bit out of date 4 years ago". I think it's better there now, but testing doesn't seem like a bad place to be either. I've always shunned bleeding edge stuff so I'm kind of in the dark about what the real benefits are, past the occasional time where I know a program I use has an update I for sure want. Like when XFCE finally got vsync fixed.
