What's your experiences with Debian and Rocky as a homeserver OS?

Hello there lemmings! Finally I have taken up the courage to buy a low power mini PC to be my first homeserver (Ryzen 5500U, 16GB RAM, 512 SSD, already have 6TB external HDD tho). I have basically no tangible experience with Debian or Fedora-based system, since my daily drivers are Arch-based (although I'm planning to switch my laptop over to Fedora).

Mostly not at all but sometimes I want to try some new features and that's when it gets annoying. Right now, I'd like to try passing encoding capability from my APU to a VM I'm hosting but it requires Mesa 23 and Debian is on 22.
You can use the backports repository fairly easily. I did for the kernel and had no issues.
Thanks for the tip but Mesa is not in the backports repo.
