When I have even the smallest bit of time and headspace to dedicate to it, I will switch back to Debian as it was always my favourite but really can't deal with it at the moment.

Linux Mint Debian Edition is just great for that case. If I were not so much into fedora's rpm-ostree I would be using that, or MX Linux.

Dude, right? I've thought about switching to cachy or something, but every time I just can't bring myself to give up ostree.

Silverblue manages to be exciting yet boring.

As in, it is great for everyday work yet still uses newfangled tech under the hood.

I like Debian, it is boring in the best way.

I really did not like the process of upgrading from one stable version of Debian to the next. It went OK, but i remember being anxious the whole time, compared to Ubuntu's gui workflow, and failing that, the one-command cli version that i always have to look up

I love a boring OS that just works for 90% of things and you just live with whatever the other 10% is - usually some driver quirks or peripheral funk.

I've never used the gui for upgrade but I also have a hard time remembering do-make-release.
