Debian is just as prone to breaking due to the lack of fallbacks (e.g. Snapper), it just doesn't break as often because it doesn't change as much as Arch.
If you use a minimal/ default install, this won't happen as easily, but as soon as you customise anything, you get problems.
Arch can be reliable too, there are many people who have had the same install for years without breaking.
I would actually recommend Fedora Atomic or other image based distros, e.g. VanillaOS.
They can be more modern, while being way more reliable thanks to atomic updates/ transactions, complete image rollbacks and the reproducibility.
They are a dream to use imo!
Schritt 1: kauf dir Autoflower-Samen (z.B. bei Dutch-Passion)
Schritt 2: lass sie keimen (am besten sind Kokosquelltabs)
Schritt 3: setz sie raus auf den Balkon
Schritt 3: tu so, als würdest du Tomaten anbauen. Heißt, für eine Ertragserhöhung regelmäßig köpfen und somit Triebe erhöhen, korrekt gießen, korrekt düngen, usw.
Schritt 4: informieren, wann und wie man richtig erntet
Schritt 5: fertig
Spezielle Produkte (Cannabis-Dünger, Growzelt, usw.) brauchst du nicht. Wie gesagt, einfach so tun, als wären es Tomaten. Viel falsch machen kann man nicht
I don't like apt too as much. But, interface-wise, you can make it way better with Nala, which is a frontend for it.
NixOS is too complicated and demanding for most users, who aren't programmers or hobbyists, imo.
I prefer Fedora Atomic. It has the same pros (unbreakable, highly configurable with universal-blue.org, etc.) but feels way more user friendly.
I use it with Distrobox on top, so I can use my package manager/ distro of choice (turned out to be Arch btw) on a extremely reliable system.
For your case, you can replicate Mint by just installing the Cinnamon image from uBlue and applying some minimal tweaks.
Then you get the user friendliness from Mint with the flexibility and unbreakability from NixOS. Do you like the idea? Just in case you get annoyed by NixOS in the future 🙃
It seems like OP put a lot of work and creativity into the meme, while intelligently criticizing a problem and not just using "Windows bad hurr hurr" as the base.
Kostet 1€ (3€ mit etwas Cloud-Speicher und paar Extras).
Finde ich fair, transparent und wird in Deutschland gehostet. Lieber zahle ich einen Euro und weiß, dass mit meinen Daten nichts seltsames passiert.
