I'd go the other direction and choose Debian. It's what Ubuntu is based on, and actually lives up to the spirit of FOSS.

The only problem that I have with Debian is that packages are several versions behind what would be considered current. If I had to use it, i would use sid, despite the dreaded "unstable" label.

I'm pretty sure sid also has package freezes for when it moves up to testing. In general Debian's purpose is as a stable distro and it might be better to use a distro that focuses on rolling release for bleeding edge packages.

Out of the box I would say Debian needs a fair amount of work after installation before it is an easy to use desktop OS.

I agree, but OP wants GNOME 44, which is not available yet in Debian, except through experimental.
