Have you looked at tumbleweed? Its a rolling release so its always up to date but opensuse's testing is fantastic. It's very stable and on the off chance there's a regression that impacts usability, it has built in version snapshots. It takes literally 45 seconds to roll back to a previous working version.

I keep seeing people recommending Debian. Its a great OS, especially for server stuff (which I use in multiple VMs in my home lab), but I wouldn't recommend it on a computer you're actively using. They take so long to update packages you're always multiple versions behind. This really makes it difficult to get bug fixes and patches for software that you're using on a daily basis. The hardware support is never as good as other options.
On the professional front, I can tell you that unifying the keys to mgmt interfaces to critical infrastructure in a single app is not a welcome tool to see on my junior admin desktops
As opposed to having them spread out? Across multiple apps?
I would have my doubts about a junior admin who hasn't developed a personal strategy to manage this themselves.
What about using a single app to organize their connection methods to various VMs and containers?
It's an easy way to manage multiple servers/vms remotely. It makes transferring files to remote headless systems easy and simplifies remembering multiple hosts. It's akin to moba xterm, a similar windows only project
Opensuse Tumbleweed is great, I've been daily driving it for ages on 3+ devices. It's a rolling release and has all the latest packages, but is extremely stable. It has a built in recovery tool called snapper that allows you to roll back to a previous state before an update on the off chance you get a bad one. Ive only had to use it a few times over the years but it's been great to have.
Really underrated distro imo
Seems like nextcloud is the weak link, can you access them another way? Through a network share?
Super awesome. The android bit is particularly interesting
Man that's a hard sell when the starlite is going for $627 https://us.starlabs.systems/pages/starlite
$70 cheaper with better specs is a no brainer
The success of KDE depends on maintaining and attracting new developers. C++ is decreasing in popularity, with less people becoming willimg to learn it overtime. Adding more modern languages to the mix that are more pleasant to write with will help keep KDE popular with devs.
I think moving beyond C++ is critical for the long term success of KDE, glad to see it's a new goal
Like many others, I have mixed feelings on this. If anyone is stopping by and doesn't want to read through the linked forum thread, this is frameworks goal:
This isn’t a program to get people to go to conferences and rep Framework, it’s a program to give people who are already going to conferences and showing off their Framework some swag and opportunities to talk with the team. It’s not assigning work, it’s just saying thank you to people who are excited about Framework and active in the Linux community.

I had to have my scanner scan to a windows VM that saves it to a network drive for paperless to injest. Its not my favorite solution but at least I don't have to manually move the files around
