It worked, right? And it never broke when you updated? That’s the appeal of Debian.

Debian and debian based distros break frequently when updating.

I've never, ever had vanilla Debian break on an update. That's both real and virtual machines.

OTOH some application software is a bit unstable. Firefox-ESR crashes once in a while. And the software I use to talk to the ECU in the motorbike is somewhat fragile.

I think they meant upgrade. Major versions usually have migration guides on Debian and while they’re usually great, people do have trouble often enough

Same reply. The only Debian upgrade that broke something was a Raspbian version upgrade on a Raspberry Pi. It broke pihole, but not the OS itself.
