I have a seedbox and have been using private trackers for well over a decade. I seed forever, or until I need space.
When I cannot find something on one of my private trackers I do look on public trackers. I find the experience lacking.
My issues with public trackers:
-
Search sites are sketchy af. Between pop up ads and fake direct download links, it can be challenging to find whatever you are looking for.
-
Files can be poorly tagged or completely named wrong. The number of times I have downloaded not porn only to find porn can be counted on one hand, mostly because the other hand is busy.
Anyway, I will gladly seed until the end of time if a public torrent search site exists that can get me the content I want without making me need a shower after.
I am using Fedora Server edition on my home server and EndeavourOS on my main. I see no reason to change that.
If I had to choose only one I would go with stable first.
