From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've been on Debian 12 for almost a year. It's rock solid and its Gnome is on version 43, which is current enough. I've been watching reviews of 45 and 46 and I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything. I installed Flatpak to get current apps and it works flawlessly. I'm expecting Debian 13 to come out sometime around Summer 2025, which doesn't feel too far away given my satisfaction with Debian 12.
I dumped ubuntu for debian 12 due to snaps, and i'm very happy so far. I run sway as my window manager. I guess we'll see how i feel in a year but i honestly can't think of any software i run that i'm simply fine with it not being the most recent. I'm even using the firefox-esr version that debian ships with and it's fine.
