I've been using Ubuntu as my daily driver for a good few years now. Unfortunately I don't like the direction they seem to be heading.

I've also just ordered a new computer, so it seems like the best time to change over. While I'm sure it will start a heated debate, what variant would people recommend?

I'm not after a bleeding edge, do it all yourself OS it will be my daily driver, so don't want to have to get elbow deep in configs every 5 minutes. My default would be to go back to Debian. However, I know the steam deck is arch based. With steam developing proton so hard, is it worth the additional learning curve to change to arch, or something else?

Ah, so you mean the one supplied by AMD themselves? Good, thanks.

Yes, but you don't want to actually go get them from AMD's site like I was doing. I think this is what I followed: https://github.com/lutris/docs/blob/master/InstallingDrivers.md
