   Debian stable is very stable. The software in there got plenty of testing   
   before release but it can be old (by some standards) by the time it is   
   released or soon after.   
      
   There is also the testing and unstable branches of debian. If I were to run   
   debian myself I would run a mix of testing and unstable on my desktop. If   
   stability is a concern then stable is what you want.

   I have no issues moving files around, I use ext4 file systems mostly. I have   
   small partitions for the OS and large ones for files that I can read/write   
   regardless of the OS I am running ATM.
