Older packages, but not too old, generally provide better stability. Problems can also come from packages being too new and not having all the standout issues worked out of them.
around 1 year and a half, thats way too long, considering the Pipewire, OBS, Kernel, Gaming and other drivers updates. Not even mentioning all the updates KDE and Gnome just got in the last 3 months.
stay away from debĂan stable or slackware then....
I generally would for desktop use, and absolutely wouldn't rexommend them for a new user.

And worse compatibility. Old packages are a no go for upstream supported hardware like Intel's and AMD's.
