I'm not disagreeing with you, per se, but your claim that "updates have habit of breaking stuff? Debian doesn't do that." seems about as, how did you put it, constructive, as the question.

I'd always recommend CentOS or RHEL, but it doesn't matter. What matters, is what has already been pointed out: there's really no right answer to this question. It's horses for courses: you pick an OS / distribution based on what you want it for. I've even stopped using VMs, for the most part, in favour of Docker containers as much of what I need them for is ephemeral in nature, and I don't need them clocking up my hard drive.

NAME

       purity-ng - general purpose purity testing software

SYNOPSIS

       purity-ng [OPTION]...  list|FILE|TESTNAME

DESCRIPTION

       Purity  is  an  interactive purity test program with a simple, user interface and datafile format.  For each test, questions are printed to
       the your terminal, and you are prompted for an answer to the current question.  At a prompt, these are your choices:

	      y      Answer "yes" to the question.
	      n      Answer "no" to the question.
	      b      Backup  one  question, if you answered it incorrectly, or someone is watching you take the test, and you don't (or do) want to admit a different answer.
	      s      Print your current score on the test you are taking.
	      q      Quit the test, and print the current score.
	      ?      Print a help screen for the current prompt.

       At the end of the test, your score is printed out.  For most purity tests, lower scores denote more "experience" of the test material.

OPTIONS

       --version
	      print current version of purity-ng

       -h, --help
	      show the help message and exit

       -p     print the test without prompting for answers.

       -r     decrypt the test using the Rot 13 algorithm.

       To get a list of all purity tests available globally on your system, run purity-ng list.
