> Actually, the reason I use Ubuntu instead of Debian is that most language runtimes I use (python, for starters) were, for quite a few years, more up-to-date. Of course I could use unstable, but I'd much rather use Ubuntu's LTS and security updates.
It's almost definitely better to install stuff in /usr/local or in install-specific locations under /opt than to use either unstable or Ubuntu in production.

Yeah, but it replaces it with its own pain. The days I bid farewell to Unity and GNOME were so happy…
