I love the idea of trying Debian but every time I try to ditch Arch for it I end up just giving up after not being able to find all the packages I need in the repos.
How do you guys deal with that? I’m not even talking about them being out of date. I’m talking about them missing altogether.

EDIT: Fix grammar mistake.
Usually, Flatpaks. My generally philosophy is that if it isn’t in Debian, it probably won’t last. I make exceptions when something is the best tool for the job, like Tom J Watson’s Emote.
This isn’t rock solid, I admit - there are plenty of defunct projects that were once in Debian repos (neofetch is still in sid), and there are plenty of lasting projects outside Debian.)
