Debian software can *never* be as stable and secure as software that is written and

Oh, that means Microsoft Windows must be most stable OS in the world,
right?
Right?...
Not only that, you are saying if a Debian
user experiences a bug in Debian software, Debian developers/maintainers do not have
to fix it. That's fine, but...
If Debian developers/maintainers actively refuse to fix some bugs that inevitably arise
by ignoring them, why would anyone depend on Debian software for anything important?
Did you not read Debian disclaimer when you log in?
"The programs included with the Debian GNU/Linux system are free
software; the exact distribution terms for each program are described in
the individual files in /usr/share/doc/*/copyright.
Debian GNU/Linux comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY, to the extent
permitted by applicable law."
You are free to use paid software if you think it is somewhat better. In
line with your logic, I think Microsoft Windows is an excellent choice
for you.
