I’d go the other direction and choose Debian. It’s what Ubuntu is based on, and actually lives up to the spirit of FOSS.

I agree, but OP wants GNOME 44, which is not available yet in Debian, except through experimental.

Out of the box I would say Debian needs a fair amount of work after installation before it is an easy to use desktop OS.

The only problem that I have with Debian is that packages are several versions behind what would be considered current. If I had to use it, i would use sid, despite the dreaded “unstable” label.

I’m pretty sure sid also has package freezes for when it moves up to testing. In general Debian’s purpose is as a stable distro and it might be better to use a distro that focuses on rolling release for bleeding edge packages.

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.
