A new ‘app store’ is expected to ship as part of Ubuntu 23.10 when it’s released in October — and it’ll debut with a notable change to DEB support.

This is why im on the hunt for a new distro. Looking at pop and fedora right now. Kinda prefer deb cause thats been my env for 15 yrs
Debian is right there then.
Can I get debian with latest kde? Like stable debian but rolling DE like kde neon?
Debian 12 shipped with the latest kde plasma version, but the distro is designed to be stable, with a capital S. The packages will not update until the version does.
Flatpaks are a great way to get modern software on a stable OS like debian. If neon has a flatpak version, it would be a good answer.
stableis not the only debian release.Siduction is rolling Debian with more updated KDE stuff.
Sounds like you're introducing me to some 2 girls 1 cup type shit, but I'll look it up. Is it still maintained?
Yup! It's rolling, but the latest ISO release was in March.
You could check backports.
I don't usually need the absolute latest so I'm fine waiting for stuff to reach testing.
Been using popos on all my computers for the past year and have been happy with it.
I'm thinking pop os or just boring plain debian. This snap shit is just getting too much to bother with.
Agreed. I game alot in linux and ive heard straight debian isnt so hot there
For gaming you should definitely check Garuda Linux.
Flatpaks fix a lot of debains boring.
I would recommend using Linux Mint. It is Ubuntu without Gnome Shell and snaps. They use Flatpak instead. I have been enjoying it ever since I jumped ship from Ubuntu about 2 years ago.
I’d suggest if you want stock and recent Gnome, stick with Fedora.
Pop is building their own DE that they will switch to sometime in 2023. Which also mean they will remain 22.04 till then.
I’m waiting for VanillaOS 2.0 release to see if it is any better.
I’ve heard the latest Debian absolutely slaps; haven’t tried it yet myself though
I was using EndeavourOS when I ran into the wall that a lot of stuff didn't have builds on AUR that I needed (and didn't feel like compiling myself or they didn't provide source code)
