- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.

- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content

As a ride or die Debian fan, I can answer this:
A lot of really nice updates happened in the last year, and we're not going to see a lot of them in Debian stable until 2 or 3 years from today.
If you're already running Debian, you'll probably just be delighted when they reach Debian stable.
But if I'm recommending a "how's Linux today?" test, grab something that already includes the latest quality of life features. There's been some really nice stuff added to Gnome and KDE and various Flatpaks, this year.
Edit: In about two years I'll probably be back to saying "forget all that, just run Debian Stable, because the very best stuff is already there."
Of course, if the current trend of great updates continues another two years, I may have to eat my words, lol.
Then there will just be some other stuff that has been developed that people want ;-)
Yeah. As a "DOS was good enough" person, I honestly didn't expect so exited for all the updates in Gnome this year. But the Gnome team is on a hot streak. I really may get to eat my "Debian stable is all I need" words again in a few years.
