Do you use a laptop or desktop? On laptops I find the linux experience is very much dependent on your machine. I have a huawei laptop that I love but most distros are not very stable on it. I have a lenovo laptop that runs Fedora flawlessly (but my current daily driver is Mint w/Cinnamon which is awesome). About debian-based - if you run debian itself, yes, you will have old packages. But Ubuntu based distros, even though based on debian, will have much more recent versions of packages, plus nearly any question you have will have been answered on the internet for Ubuntu, given it's popularity.
I use a laptop and I do know that but that being said the few times i have completely switched to linux has been problematic to say the least so i think it would be a while before i try do this again. :)
makes sense - at the end of the day you gotta get stuff done :D I have done professional (backend) development using windows, mac, and linux and I vastly prefer to work in linux. It's not always easy to live in a windows/mac dominated world though.
