How "out of date" is Debian really? (programming.dev)

I hear that a lot but, how bad is it really? Does it affect you (if you use Debian)? Aren't there ways to install newer versions of most things that actually matter?

It's so out of date that Deb and Ian are no longer together

(...this is actually true, not just a joke)

I assume that's where the name came from given the context. Never knew that.

Yep, learned it recently from a list of things that are, surprisingly, named after real people. Deb and Ian eventually got married but are now divorced.
