i won't argue with you there. i fucking hate people who push mint,Ubuntu, popos, or anything based on apt. it's literally not designed to be up to date and rolling. People try to band-aid it on with repos but it just leads to systems eating themselves.

valve went with arch Linux on the steamdeck for a reason, it's designed, from its core, to be rolling. which gaming needs. you need the latest drivers, libs, wine, etc. and there are easy to go arch installers. my favorite is EndeavorOS. sadly you get a similar problem in reverse with shit like manjaro. where they take a perfectly working rolling system and attempt to "stabilize" it with custom repos that arbitrarily hold packages back. and it tends to break a lot.

it's the double edged sword of open source. i can do what i want, but so can everyone else. and the voice of the stupid is almost never a minority
