      Sometimes, you do need some newer packages (e.g. for gaming), and Debian is … not very good at facilitating that, even if it’s usually possible, in theory, to install newer packages from Sid. Flatpaks or manually installing stuff through git etc. help, but that doesn’t work well for stuff like GPU drivers.

      My set of requirements for a daily driver is very different. From experience, I’ll end up with a frankendebian that requires much more manual intervention and has a high risk of breaking during updates.
