Debian stable is an incredibly low bar in terms of new packages. I’m on NixOS, too, if that matters, and I don’t have a strong opinion on how fresh packages are, although I do find it far from ideal in other areas ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Arch Linux does a better job mostly… although Nix does have more packages. Alpine Linux actually seems to do better than most in keeping packages updated.
You reckon? I’m on NixOS and it feels like we tend to get things ahead of a number of other distros - especially Debian- or Ubuntu-based ones.
