What distros have more up to date packages than Debian but aren't as bleeding edge as arch? I'm looking for an in between.

Debian Testing or openSuse Tumbleweed
I really do want to thank Arch, Fedora, NixOS, OpenSUSE users for beta testing software for me.
Arch is the least buggy distro I ever tried.
Except for Slackware maybe. Slackware has literally no bugs. If it doesn't behave like it should, it's your fault.
I broke my install by updating it, I get that if you perfectly understand what's going on then it has no bugs but that's really not my experience. A lot of the time something will break and it's easy to say "I should've known it was this so it's my fault" but really if you didn't expect it to work a certain way and it breaks it's not a super stable system.
My Ubuntu broke literally every time I did a version upgrade. It's probably better now, but I'm not going back.
The last system that straight up broke for me was a default installation of Debian Stable, and that wasn't long ago.
I understand Arch isn't easy to use or maintain.
But in my opinion, if you use something wrong and it breaks, that doesn't mean it's unstable. And if you update Arch by simply hitting "pacman -Syu" every day, you're doing it wrong.
But if lots of people use it wrong and break it then maybe it's too obtuse. I broke one of my applications by upgrading packages. The solution? Install the package again, I thought the package manager would take care of stuff like that but if it's meant to be me then I think it's a bad system.
I always find it kinda weird when people criticize free software.
Like, the developers make something, give it to you for free, pay for server space so you can download it for free, and then you say "it sucks".
OK, just don't use it then.
Arch users whenever they update
Ironic that this image does not load for me
Rolling release?
I want revolving release, every one is a russian roulette to destroy my system
Welcome to Manjaro.
can’t understand how manjaro is still alive, given how much better endeavouros configures the system
Yeah, no idea. EOS is much better in every single way.
Will seems like arch users stereotype but i don't need software im not gonna use
Maybe because many website still give recommendations who newbie in arch or Linux distro
Don't believe it ?? Try googling it
Damn MX Linux
Updating my Laptop and server (Arch testing):
Updating my PC (Arch testing, but with NVidia):
Do you use btrfs and snapper etc?
Nope. I do inspect all packages before upgrading tho, and am capable of debugging the problem if the system should not boot anymore. And, as I said, I never ever had problems with booting. Only Nvidia fucks up from time to time, in which case I can just downgrade. And as I have daily backups, I could install packages from years ago.
Yay all of my extensions and themes are broken
I use latte dock, so until either it starts working in plasma 6 or i find a proper replacement i simply wont update my system lol
the new plasma 6 panel can be customized to pretty much a dock
the default tasks applets still isn't nearly as good though
