I've been using Ubuntu as my daily driver for a good few years now. Unfortunately I don't like the direction they seem to be heading.

I've also just ordered a new computer, so it seems like the best time to change over. While I'm sure it will start a heated debate, what variant would people recommend?

I'm not after a bleeding edge, do it all yourself OS it will be my daily driver, so don't want to have to get elbow deep in configs every 5 minutes. My default would be to go back to Debian. However, I know the steam deck is arch based. With steam developing proton so hard, is it worth the additional learning curve to change to arch, or something else?

Nobara has a number of kernal patches and general fixes not found on Fedora

...which can be implemented on every other distro as well. Again, it's GNU/Linux and not Windows -- "all you can see/exist in a distro you can do/implement in every other distro."

@GustavoM @simple hmm, interesting. How do I make pacman work on ubuntu? I mean, just because it's technically possible, doesn't mean it's at all easy to do, in any stretch of the imagination
