Or Experimental if you're a daredevil.
Example if I want latest gnome-shell and mutter and already have added the repo to my sources
Code:sudo apt -t experimental install gnome-shell mutter

Also, committing to your own fork of someone else's code and hoping your backport won't break anything is at least silly. You're better off going with the majority and using the newest stable release to not be left alone with your issues.

Please elaborate on why is Arch crap.
Everything coming with as default as possible settings isn't necessarily a good thing and can add an extra level of maintenance one has to do which adds to that perpetual beta feeling. Arch Plasma and Manjaro Plasma is a fine example of that.
The installation process, while very well documented, isn't necessarily new user friendly. If one thinks it's hard or has a hard time doing it, they're probably going to think it's crap. Some just want to "Click, click, click, click, porn. It's that easy, man," and not have to deal with a learning curve.
It still has a bit of a bad reputation from its earlier dayswhen they didn't have everything sorted out (like no testing or core/community, etc).
The forums can be "a little" harsh.
I'm sure there are other things, but that's what comes to my mind as a previous Arch and current Manjaro user.
EDIT: After posting I'd like to point out my bias with Debian from my bad reputation from back in the day comment. Most people will reference a bad historical experience that'll likely cause a negative bias in regards to anything. Psychology's fun.Last edited by skeevy420; 07 July 2019, 02:22 PM.
