Upvoted, because if I have to use linux, Debian is still it (or devuan). I like to learn things that will be long-term useful and then put those learnings to use before starting over, and Debian has been best for that in my many years of Linux usage. So I mostly like their conservatism and that I don't have to upgrade as often, and that they keep providing security patches. And so many things just...work stably as expected. Some years ago, on another very popular distro when I tried using their LSB scripts in some other tools we provided to the business, it was like even the script author had not even run them to see if they had the most basic actual functioning--I looked at the script code and it was like they didn't even try, but still claimed "LSB support" (a moot point now, I realize). And their packaging system was relatively inconsistent and felt -- loose and messy at times by comparison. Those in debian all worked flawlessly, consistently, and predictably as documented (except for one package hosting tool being slow on large amounts of data, where I found a workaround--sort the data). The debian packaging infrastructure, and the debian policy for how things should work together reliably on the system, is very helpful. It seems there are good reasons that debian has more derivatives than any other distro (per distrowatch IIRC).

But I moved my laptop to OpenBSD because of the security benefits, and even greater predictability. A final motivation was when in the first release after Debian's move to systemd it wouldn't boot (with an obscure message about a net error?) on some hardware where devuan did just fine, and my firewall wouldn't auto-start any more and I didn't want to dive in to learn why right then. The firewall will always auto-start on OpenBSD. :)
