Hi everyone,
I am a long-time Ubuntu user considering switching to Debian.
As far as I understand, Debian is more stable with packages going through a long testing phase. As a matter of fact, this is exactly what I am looking for.
I am just somehow concerned about packages not receiving security updates in a timely manner. For example, Chromium 84 has been released mid July (fixing 38 security issues, one being critical). Yet buster is still on version 83 (https://packages.debian.org/buster/chromium) while other distributions have already provided updates.
Would you consider this a general trade-off for Debian packages that comes with increased testing or is chromium for same reason a special case? I like like Debian's emphasis on stability, but if I have to choose between stability and security, I will take the latter any day.
