I'm thinking of going back to Debian too, then run all my other stuff though flatpaks

I have just made the switch from Ubuntu. Now I have a trustworthy stable base, plus selected latest apps with Flatpak and Distrobox. It's the best of both worlds.

I'm doing that right now and it's excellent

Yeah, me too. Flatpaks and distrobox.

Flatpaks and homebrew for me. Working wonders

That's the way to go. Best of both worlds!
