Whilst it's not been forever regarding how long I've been using #Linux, I've used #Debian for more than 10 years now, perhaps as many as 15.
So, my answer is simple. #Debian
I always prefer to run #Stable releases, so I am presently on #Bookworm and will in-line upgrade to #Trixie when 13.1 is released, just as I've done for perhaps the last 3 or 4 major releases.
Not only in sid (#unstable), but also in #trixie (testing) and #bookworm (stable-#backports)! 
Trixie release preparations are progressing: Trixie's first freeze stage concerning transitions and the toolchain started on March 15 as planned https://release.debian.org/trixie/freeze_policy.html#summary #debian #trixie

I've noticed that at some point over the last several updates of Debian Testing / Trixie w/ Gnome that the lock screen now sleeps my screens properly.
Assuming some changes in DPMS handling has been added to the lock screen...
It's one of those things I never got around to digging into but, to whomever made code changes to make this happen automagically, Thank You!
I don't know if this is a 'net new' thing. I was on Debian Bookworm before and Pop! before that. Both were Gnome 43 (IIRC). And both didn't sleep my screens.
Anybody experiencing hangs of the user interface in GNOME 48 RC2 on Debian trixie testing/unstable sid unstable?
Most of the time some Ctrl-Alt-F1 Ctr-Alt-F2 switching fixes it, but I just had a complete unrecoverable hang (at least not without ssh-ing into the machine), even though Shift Lock was still working, so it does not appear like the kernel had crashed. AMD Ryzen integraded Radeon GPU, Mesa 24.3.4, Linux kernel 6.13.
A Bug Squashing Party is organized in Montréal, Canada, by Debian Québec on 28-29 March, to facilitate the release of the next stable version of Debian (Debian 13 - Trixie), fixing as many Release Critical bugs as possible https://wiki.debian.org/BSP/2025/03/ca/Montreal #debian #trixie

@FrChazzz This is the way.
Yesterday I rebuilt my "Artoo unit" in my automotive garage using an old Intel i7-3770k PC from 2012.
Installed Debian w/ Gnome. Runs like a scalded cat! I use it for accessing car service manuals (Win XP VM!) and connecting to OBD and such. It's also the shop radio/TV and video camera.
Until about a year or so ago it was a media server for the household. Still lots of life.
Heute wurde bei #Debian #Trixie ein Update eingespielt, das die Beta-Version von #GNOME 48 inkl. aller Gnome Apps enthält. Diese Version bringt einige spannende Neuerungen mit sich, die das Benutzererlebnis verbessern und moderne Technologien integrieren.
Neuer Standard-Font: Adwaita Sans
HDR-Unterstützung
Verbesserte Benutzeroberfläche und Performance
Und bis zur Finalen Version kommen sicher noch einige Dinge hinzu.
GNOME Discourse · GNOME 48.alpha ReleasedHello, GNOME 48.alpha is now available. This is the first unstable release leading to the 48 series. Review the list of updated modules and changes. Use the official BuildStream project snapshot to compile GNOME 48.alpha. A GNOME OS install image is available for testing WARNING! This release is a snapshot of development code. Although it is buildable and usable, it is primarily intended for testing and hacking purposes. For more information about the 48 release, the full schedule, th...
Been running Gnome 48 on Debian Trixie for the last day or so. I like it.
I'm also making a concerted effort to give Web (Epiphany) a solid try. In the last number of hours have not encountered any issues when using it to access Mastodon or Kijiji Autos. Just regular browsing normal sites seems to work fine.
I haven't accessed any terrible banking sites or anything like that yet. I half expect to have to keep Floorp around for that bull-roar.
Weirdly, with Web, the scrolling and rendering on my 'big' workstation (11700k, RTX4070) is kind of rough compared to my laptop which seems really smooth and snappy (10750H, GTX1650). Both are on Wayland. Both are UHD screen (lappy is UHD+ 16:10 actually).
The Debian Release Team is keeping pace: the first trixie freeze step (transition and toolchain freeze) is coming next month! https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2025/01/msg00004.html #debian #trixie

Major changes in #Debian #Trixie's apt 2.9.24:
“apt (2.9.24) unstable; urgency=medium
/etc/apt/trusted.gpg is no longer trusted. Setting the Dir::Etc::trusted option manually continues to work for some more time.
sources.list(5) entries without the Signed-By field are deprecated; migrate any legacy entries to the deb822 .sources format. See the apt-secure(8) manual page for best practices for signer configuration. This deprecates the /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d directory.”
Once apt is up-to-date, run "apt modernize-sources" to update your sources (seems to go smoothly on my machines :) ) — make a dry-run first
