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?

    Honestly Arch (and the more pure Arch derivatives like Endeavour) is fantastic as long as things don’t break, and I’ve never had anything break that wasn’t more complicated than updating my mirror list or forcibly uninstalling a conflicting package. There’s always the potential for something more serious to go wrong, but having the Arch wiki is such a fantastic resource.
