Linux middle ground? - eviltoast

so a common claim I see made is that arch is up to date than Debian but harder to maintain and easier to break. Is there a good sort of middle ground distro between the reliability of Debian and the up-to-date packages of arch?

    They don’t package LTS kernels which is pretty concerning—especially if using out-of-kernel modules that don’t always get released in lock step that could leave you with a machine that won’t boot.

      That’s true. i do sometimes have issues with the ZFS package not compiling because of a too new kernel not being supported yet.
