It's what I have installed on my parents computer. Somewhat painful to do any sort of development in it though.

    It's really not primed for development. I'd use Arch, Fedora, openSUSE or Debian for that.

    Indeed. I've been on Arch for a few years, and it's great 99% of the time.

    But I really hate how sometimes you sit down to work and something broke and you have to tinker to figure out why instead of focusing on what you want to focus.

    That's the reason why I don't main Arch. I'm already past the point where I have all the patience to tinker the conflicts away.

    You'd think so, but like my experience with other distros people suggest as more stable has been even worse. I've never tried Debian, but I swear, next time this breaks down I'm going for that one and being happy with my packages from 1997.
