Debian based all the way through.
But my biggest problem still persists with choosing the right distro, which has the best balanced option when considering these features?:
Linux Mint Debian Edition for GUI, Debian headless...
Not even Joking - Mint can do it. Override the default kernel to 6.8 (via GUI in Update Manager). I've been running Satisfactory on Mint with 6.8 at 4K without issue for months for example). Daily driver with rock solid uptime pedigree. Cinnamon is very comfortable and familiar and yet still very configurable if you like. I like some Mac OS niceties, so I switched mine to feel a bit more like it and use Albert for a quick launcher.
I also use it on several headless servers. Though I leave the graphics running in case I want to KVM on those machines, but never really have to... SSH if need be.
I've solidified and have been on Mint for like 7 years now? I just got tired of distro hopping and the team running the show does a fantastic job. Probably will switch to Debian (LMDE) - going to experiment with it soon.
