Unfortunately, the old Debian packages are also GCC, LLVM, Clang, and many other packages.
If you need stability, I would consider either immutable systems or improve your skills. Because I haven't had any major problems while running Fedora, Arch, or Slackware

Why would you tinkertroon with linux instead of getting things done with windows? asking honestly.

This is what docker is for. QEMU if things are really dire. You can even run QEMU in a docker container if you need a later version of it.
