    Appimage is OK but no auto update makes it download and forget type of deal - definitely not for every app
    Flatpak - best for me but permissions on some apps make it unusable e.g. gpodder - command for player as flatpak is unable to access MPV installed from repo flatpak etc. - sandboxing (couldn’t fix it with flatseal mpv --profile=… not working)
    - snaps people love to hate them… no love from me :-)
    Repo if it works, is available - the best option

    Debian, is definitly good to substitute Ubuntu. Although as mentioned flatpak/appimg is a must. Example: waterfox installed from outside repo made for Debian bookworm complains about dependecy issue, Ubuntu drivers just works Debian had a discussion about non free drivers in standard repo. Repo is named non-free-firmware, and still broadcom is not in standard repo you need to add repo. In the end you’ll have low maintenance distro, setup is more engaging for some hardware.
