Do you want to live the boring stable life, where you can just build and build and build your personal poop castle on top of that solid OS for years and years? If yes, switch to Debian. You won’t be reinstalling till you get so bored that you get the urge to self-harm (by reinstalling). We can’t afford new hardware anyways, but even if we do, the same install will work on the new system with few tweaks. 😆
The initial setup is a bit more annoying than Pop/Mint/Ubuntu but not too much more. Upgrades are also a bit more annoying but not too much more. There’s good documentation for both of those procedures.

Wait debían supports poop castles? I finally have a reason to switch from vista!
Keep Vista, get out to join the protest!
I can’t even say the initial setup was more annoying than Mint.
yeah ever since bookworm, they seemed to sort it out…
What if my new hardware ends up being RISC V?
IIRC Debian supports RISC V
IIRC the x86_64 binaries won’t work, so you will require a reinstall.
RISCV, potato, unprocessed sand…it’s all hardware anyway
