Debian, because new software is over hyped and arch had me downloading 2GB of updates a week. You're also supposed to check the arch wiki before any updates, to avoid breakage.

OS is boring, most of us live in the web browser.

    I used to be on manjaro too, and before that linux Mint. I've only ever broken broken on graphics card driver updates, and even then the fix was no big deal. I forget which distro I was on when that happened, but linux has been leagues ahead of Windows in terms of stability. Not an expert, but I'm happy with Debian (stable) and I tell people it's "old man linux".

    There's more fun and usability in choosing window managers, independent of the OS.
