    Fucking Debian. There’s no point to use it on anything other than a server. Apt sucks, it doesn’t have the backwords compatible support with Ubuntu and it’s wiki sucks. Id you want a stable release use OpenSUSE Leap and if you want rolling (which btw Debian testing us still on 5.25 nvidia drivers). And Sid is even more unstable than Arch. Use either Arch or OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.

      I use debian 12 on my work laptop. I agree with your points but I still use it because I want the fundamental system to be stable, and then any software I want to be more up-to-date I build from source (tmux, alacritty, neovim) or download separately (vscode/slack/joplin).

      I used to use ubuntu because it worked so well with my hardware ootb, but I got tired of snap.

      Debian is great for my server.

      I use MX, based on Debian, for my laptop so I only have to remember 1 update command.

      My laptop is ancient, and I’m not getting any more out of it than I’m getting with MX

        No one can dictate what tickles your fancy and ticks your boxes bud. If you’re into debian, that’s cool by me. Not my jam personally, but wtf does my opinion matter?
