Hey dust, I have been using linux for about 24 years ago and I’m gonna explain it to you straight here.

debian is rock solid. It’s great for servers. It’s also great for laptops: That is laptops where you don’t really care about having anything bleeding edge. I need tmux, a few compilers, vim, and a browser. Debian!

I’ve got a kid and get at best 45 minutes per week to code on side projects. My system can never be broken. I use Debian on my Linux laptop and my droplet server. No surprises.

But if you want to occasionally get a brand new desktop environment hot off the presses, Debian‘s gonna work against you. I think Ubuntu mint is great.

Good luck

Mint? No. Also rock solid but not of the bleeding edge.

Arch and NixOS is where it’s at if you want bleeding edge.

Other than that sgharms is completely right, OP.

I’ve been running NixoOS for about a year now

NixOS is definitely hit or miss on bleeding edge. The archive is absolutely massive but it is in no way universally up to date.

They just got Wayland in in the last update.

It needs more maintainers and it’s a royal pain in the ass to fix anything if it’s actually broken.

Yah, I installed it a couple weeks ago, it was on Plasma 5.27 or something almost as old, and installing strange software or drivers is such a pain in the ass. Lasted a couple days, like I usually do when I try NixOS every few months. Ah, well.

24.05 brought plasma 6, The problem is, Wayland made a whole bunch of my stuff no longer work updates for those packages are slow to make it through Nix.
