Yes, Debian is a popular distro depending on Debian packages. My concern is about the update policy of the distro
Debian is pure stability, not the balance between stability and newness. If you mean debian-BASED in particular, trying to introduce more newness with custom repos, I don’t think that is a good strategy to get balance. The custom additional repos quickly become too outdated as well. Also, the custom repos can’t account for the outdatedness of every single Debian package.
Yes, I don’t understand/approve the philosophy around the update policy of Debian. It doesn’t make sense to me for desktop usage. The technology of the package system however is great and apt is very fast
Debian is a balance between stability and newness.
If you want to see what pure stability looks like, try Slackware.
