Absolutely in sync with upstream and more stable than Debian :p, but you
have to set up Arch yourself. The install is without X, so without a DE.

Arch Linux \r (\l)
Thank you for the suggestion. I tried both Arch linux and its popular
derivative Manjaro briefly, I don't have a positive experience with any
of them.
Arch was having problems with my hardware as well with another computer.
Additionally, I would prefer to use a real build yourself distro like
Gentoo if I want to go through that direction. Gentoo would be better
optimized for my system and probably be more stable.
Manjaro is doing fine with my laptop's hardware, however, when I
installed it, Manjaro gave me other problems with some of the programs I
am currently using. Add it to the fact that it is prone to breaking
since it is a rolling based distro.
I don't find Arch and Manjaro stable, but I agree that they are sort of
modern. But being in sync and up-to-date is a secondary criteria for me.
I want a usable and stable linux like Debian rather than a modern and a
problematic one.
I guess if I can't use Debian, I will probably go with opensuse 13.1. It
is reasonably modern yet stable and usable and it seems like I don't
have another alternative for a binary based linux.
