Yeah, I have the same issue with my 1080. I haven’t installed Debian in decades because everything in “stable” is so incredibly outdated. It’s supposed to lead to a stable system, and in some ways it does. But, in other ways because everything is so out of date, people often have to install from source or find alternate packages, so it becomes possibly even more unstable.
I think with flatpak it’s fine nowadays. So I have the stable base Debian, but most applications are flatpak and for dev work I use containers or nix anyways.
Yeah, these days you don’t need the base OS much anymore. That’s why I like the Atomic distros. I’m running Bazzite and it’s great. Someone else handles the upgrades of the base image, and I just run flatpaks or containers.
