I didn’t claim anything is bad, anywhere. Also I didn’t “try to use Debian in a way it wasn’t inteded to be used”. I am using debian on 90% of my servers/vms/containers to this day. Have been for literally decades. To give a specific example: I was running a nextcloud, which required PHP, and wanted to update that. The newer version reuqired a higher PHP version, because the currently installed PHP version was EoL and not supported anymore (by PHP maintainers or Nextcloud). So updating required removing the debian-provided PHP version and installing one from other sources (external repo or compile from source), which honestly defeats the point of a “stable” distribution if the software provided is EoL, doesn’t it?
