@cjd Standard Fedora atomic also has budgie and sway as options. I like that updates are container images (bootc) so you get the exact image as it was tested. Not as much testing as Debian... but pretty good.
I've seen annoying bugs with both KDE and Gnome. I choose KDE for HDR, better multi monitor aupport, VRR, wireguard support in network management, faster SMB transfers (seriously a bug in gnome 41ish), and more. I got tired of extensions breaking on Gnome.
@cjd #Flatpak lets you install the latest version of each of your mentioned apps without any dependency issues on any distro. Even an older LTS one.
I've never seen a showstopping bug in #Debian Stable or a #RHEL distro (like #AlmaLinux) but the default kernels are older so the hardware support lags. They do introduce small bugs, though infrequently.
I tend to use either Debian Stable (with kernel back ports) or #Fedora on personal workstations.
#ublue has several Fedora atomic distros with #nvidia drivers included. They're complicated if you want to layer packages on the base image (so don't do it lol) but otherwise hard to break. They also enable #Flathub and #brew by default since they're the preferred methods of install. I've run Aurora for many months on a test bench without a hint of issue so far.
I've seen serious bugs on Ubuntu LTS and derivatives several times so I tend not to use them, but that's anecdotal.
Interested to hear what you eventually choose.
