The last paragraph is vital. Grab a flatpak of any software you need to be more up to date. Flatpaks running on Debian are amazing. Current software running on a stable base.

I have no formal tech background, but I’m pretty damn good with it. And I like Arch and Debian with XFCE.

Buying a Mac didn’t help.
