I personally chose Fedora Silverblue (that has been amazing!) after after all those snaps.

I've never had an easier and more seamless time upgrading across major versions, and that includes my previous experience with Ubuntu, Arch, Mac, Android, Windows and Debian.

Luckily for me, I was already into podman and flatpak on Ubuntu, so swiching wasn't hard beyond forgetting that I can't do apt anymore every once in a while.

Debian would have been my choice bad silverblue not worked worked for me.
