MX Linux which is number 1 on Distrowatch for a reason. Much easier than installing Debian itself which needs some tweaking, and really just Debian with some extra tools, latest Firefox… The Debian 12 based version is ready and I don’t have any issues. I also run Debian set to Trixie/Sid, which is fun if you want Debian to be like a rolling release distro, but you need to enable some bug reports and know how to manage updates to not have things break on you.

Syncthing. I rotate different Linux operating systems daily, but all my data is synced with Syncthing between all my machines, smartphone and a server. Kind of like Chrome OS in that I can wipe or reinstall the OS and be instantly back up and running, or even install a new version of Linux to try out.
