I would prefer something based on Debian, like Ubuntu or PopOS, but I’m open for other suggestions as well, as I’m looking for a distro to daily-drive on my new Framework laptop.

    Stable isnt just “for servers”. I run stable on my laptop as well

    OP said they dont need it for gaming, so you dont need the latest, shiniest things. Stable + backports should be good enough for most people unless you’re doing some really specialized work

      It’s not just gaming, chromium is ancient for example, etc. Even Debian themselves recommands Testing for workstations. Unless you really really hate rolling release I see no reason to use stable on a workstation. The maybe month or so after the rollover is a little rocky, but most of the time it’s solid.

      You do you, but you’re doing Debian a disservice by suggesting people run stable on workstations.
