Yeah, this was me before I got tired of constantly building my own packages to have current versions of some software. I've been pretty content with Arch since I switched to it a few years ago, I still spend some time mucking with packages but nowhere near as much as before. My breaking point with Debian was a new Ryzen laptop a few years ago, I could either package my own kernel for it along with all of the platform software I needed or I could hop over to Arch and just build a patched kernel so I went for it.
There is nothing more annoying than dkms failing to build your primary storage (or NIC) module after a kernel update because ✨reasons✨ - that's a huge part of why I settled on Proxmox for my server boxes, no more unexpected ZFS breakage.
Check out the Proxmox kernel when you get a chance, you might be able to just pull packages from their repo and roll with Sid otherwise.
Dude if that's the case I'm so stoked. I don't hate Ubuntu but I think forced snaps are dumb and wrongbad. It'll be a bit before I can commit to the project sadly. I've got a work trip, a proposal and some pinball repairs on the docket first.
Should probably get a new battery for that laptop too.
