djware answers a question which I get all of the time

And that question is which Linux distribution is the most recent *and* is still stable and secure. The first thing of course is to check what is meant by stable and secure, so let’s have a look and listen to the assessment of Debian Testing vs OpenSuSe Tumbleweed vs Arch Linux (Stability and Security Challenge):

Be sure to visit djware’s rumble website for the further links which were mentioned – or do it like Debian would recommend for normal users: run Debian stable, and if you *must* have some newer packages, then use their backports repository to update these. This is what I’m doing since years, just because their ‘testing’ branch is *not* meant for normal users, it’s meant for developers getting the next stable version ready for you.

Thanks to djware for your tests, and for the great explanations. And thanks to you for reading, and for watching.
