I used to avoid debian due to past trouble with outdated packages, but I just found out that debian+flatpak provides a nice user experience, with a stable system and up-to-date user apps.
Has been the primary option, especially after the glowing reviews I’ve seen for the latest release.
Is there a better… “looking” frontend for apt I could use? I got really used to how well organized dnf’s output feels, and I remember apt from my last time using any apt-based distro (about 5 years ago) as being really sloppy looking.
Running Arch right now on laptop and desktop. Best documented distro by far, does precisely what you tell it and no more; is efficient, fast and cutting-edge.
Of course, you need to know precisely what to tell it in order to get it installed in the first place, but once you’ve crossed that almighty hurdle, it’s great.
Too troublesome for me. I have too little time on my hands to configure stuff, and want things that mostly “just work” and will continue “just working” indefinitely (but isn’t an immutable distro).
I also know there are Arch variants that fit the bill, but it’s just not my thing.
sigh Time to go back to either openSUSE or Debian…
Come to the Debian side, it’s all unicorns and rainbows here 🥳🦄

I’m really leaning into this approach, I’ll just check which is the more recent version of KDE I can get right now before I try anything funny.

Debian it is, then. Thanks for the heads up!
Use Arch btw
