I hear that a lot but, how bad is it really? Does it affect you (if you use Debian)? Aren't there ways to install newer versions of most things that actually matter?

@JackbyDev The "Out of date" is good for a server, as long as security patches are backported (debian does this). Out of date is not good for a desktop. I want to get the new releases of the Window Manager, office suite, browser, etc.

Out of date is not good for a desktop.

Some call it out of date, others call it stable. If you want your computer to simply work as you are used to and to not bother you with new features and bugs, Debian is a nice distro for Desktop as well.

That's exactly why Debian is my go to.
