I used to think I found the perfect, stable, boring system with Debian + KDE Plasma.
I installed it.
I left literally everything on default.
I booted it.
Everything worked out of the box.
I was looking forward to a perfect, stable, boring computing experience.
My cat walked across the keyboard and crashed the OS.
It rebooted to a blinking cursor and nothing else.

So if you’re hiring a software quality assurance engineer, her salary expectation is 80k kitty treats, a corner office overlooking a park with squirrels, and an assistant who will pet her at work and doesn't mind getting their earlobes nibbled.

Maybe you could try zorinos, since debian died on you

Ooh, exciting, a user-friendly distro based on Ubuntu...checks notes...LTS 20.04???

Gnome 3.38.4
gtk 3.24.20

Holy shit, that's older than Debian Oldstable.
When these .deb package versions were released, my cat's mom wasn't even born yet.

Yeah it gets updates slowly, but zorin 17 has MUCH newer packages, and it just went into beta.

Its updated to to 22.0something

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
