Welcome to the Debian family :)
Linux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Highly recommend KDE connect. It's the number one thing keeping me from experimenting other compositors, I just can't see myself not having it.
Could you share any particular points that made you switch? I'm currently on Manjaro and I was thinking of switching to Fedora. But now I've started hearing good things about Debian...not sure how to proceed!
Please don't use manjaro: https://manjarno.snorlax.sh/
I recommend endeavoros if you want something arch based that's pre-setup and configured.
But debian has a very diffferent usecase from arch, everything is kept up to date in arch, if you need recent versions of things, don't use debian.
If you want things to not change, like on a server, or a workstation machine where you can't risk a change breaking something, debian is great!
For gaming, i'd pick arch any day because gaming stuff is chaning so fast. It's also better for wayland since that's also changing quickly.
Fedora is somewhat inbetween.
Debian 12 is the best Debian ever made. I overlooked it for decades because it was so painful to use but 12 changed everything. I'm waiting to see it reviewed against LMDE6, because I doubt LMDE6 could be better/faster/lighter.
congrats! however i gotta say that i am still waiting for the das that kde does not break for me… idk how others are so happy with it or what i am doing wrong…
I am waiting for MX 23 KDE edition.
Nice! I did the same not so long ago.
