   Hi Aaron!

    AT> by that?   
      
   Debian uses "older" software versions in their main branch.   
   Some call it outdated, but you can be quit sure that there are little bugs in   
   it.   
      
   Both should be stable in the sense that they do not crash.   
      
   It usually comes down to preference.   
   I use Debian on the server and usually Ubuntu on the desktop.   
   (Debian will also not include some non free software that Ubuntu does include.)

   If it works for you, don't change it.   
   I have never seen unstable distributions (apart from testing branches).   
   It usually comes down to personal preference and specialities (eg. Kali linux   
   for security and Pen Testing)   
      
   I have to admit that Ubuntu is heading into a direction that I do not like   
   particularly.   
   They try to shove snap down our throats with great force ... do not like that!

    AT> compatibility when I move files from an Ubuntu machine to a Debian   
    AT> one. Should that be a concern?   
      
   What do you mean by moving files? (binaries, or documents or what??)   
   What sort of compatibility concerns do you have?   
   Kali and Ubuntu are both based on Debian ...   
      
   BTW I do not think there is a huge performance difference on modern PCs.   
   They are so fast anyhow that you will not see a big difference.
