No big difference between those two methods of install. You get the real medal when a random upgrade breaks some software and you are able to track down the issue and corresponding solution(s).

is installing debian an acceptable solution(s)? :D

It is if that's what you are comfortable with.

I'm a big proponent of using tools you already know how to use, so long as you aren't making things needlessly harder for yourself by doing so

Debian is always acceptable solution

I don't know the current state of Debian installation. But not too long ago, installing Arch Linux felt much easier lmao

Where are these random breaks?
I use alias update='yay -Pw ; pacman -Syu ; yay -Syu' to update and never encountered one.

python version bump always broke a handful of aur packages for at least a couple days for me. In general tho, all my problems were related to aur packages not getting updated at the same rate as official repos.

switched to nixos and avoided that entire class of problems
