Debian stable is a great choice for a system where you need stability and security. For regular desktop usage though, Debian Sid (unstable) may be better because you get newer software.
There is only one issue I had with Debian: I don't like/understand how it's package manager handles unneeded software.
For example:
1. I installed Debian with the Gnome interface.
2. Decided to try KDE, installed it alongside Gnome.
3. Deleted KDE. But then there still were lots of KDE-related packages left. I tried `apt autoremove` and some other stuff, but no matter what I couldn't figure out how to easily remove all unneeded packages and return to the previous state.
