But like…yeah, that’s kinda it IMO. None of the distros come out of the box absolutely perfect for me and my use case, but Debian is close enough, well-documented enough, and flexible enough to be configured into a “perfect distro”. I haven’t really had a reason to distro-hop on any of the systems I installed Debian on.
I keep switching between Debian and Arch cause they’re very different but both close to perfection. I think I’ll stay on Arch for my gaming PC (newer drivers) and Debian on my laptop (just works).
Understood, although I have had good luck with either using the Flatpak or installing the .deb distributed by the app developer for packages where the Debian version is too old.

I need newer software versions for my work
