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.

New hardware, so wanted something moving a bit faster than debian, and I thought it was the opportunity to switch from Ubuntu is an old African word meaning I can't configure Debian to Manjaro is an old African word meaning I can't configure arch :)
You can always do what a lot of people are doing, use Debian as your base OS and install all software via Flatpak, solid OS with the latest software. Doesn't get any faster :P
At that point why not go immutable distros? Like atomic Fedoras, or Bazzite for if you're a gamer.
+1 for Fedora Atomic. uBlue is pretty much vanilla Silverblue/ any other spin, but with some QoL stuff included.
You can't get a more reliable base on a relatively stable (in terms of update frequency), yet modern platform.
