If anyone wants to call Debian an "old man distro", that's fine with me. But I get to pick the old man

Eh, they also call Mint a noob distro. I'm not dealing with Arch or smth on my work machine. Screw that Mint is perfect.
There is nothing wrong with using things that "just work" when you need them to.
Same reason people buy Toyota and Honda.
My life has enough chaos to handle, without starting my day faffing with Arch for no good reason.
Well said. Also a Honda and Toyota owner here :). When I started learning Linux there was so much hype around Arch...I installed it and then Meh pretty much like any other Linux, except things weren't tweaked to function as a cohesive whole. Arch people complaining about btrfs filling drive, or nVidia issues. So I went back to OpenSUSE Leap. It works. Btrfs snapshotting built in to any time you alter system, backend chronjobs for balance and cleanup. nVidia driver hosted directly by nVidia and specific for OpenSUSE. Why would I want life on hard mode.
i'm an absolute beginner, and will install Garuda (arch-based) on my next computer. I also used Tumbleweed, it is pretty good. It was my first linux experience and found it manageable
