Well, Canoncial products aren't on my shortlist of possible OS alternative anymore. That's ridiculous.

Ubuntu is just an OEM rebranding of Debian – why not just use Debian?

My impression is that Debian doesn't support the latest hardware nor have the latest software?

[teddyh]

If Ubuntu had it, Debian has it too, at least in the “testing” (rolling release) distribution.

And Debian recently decided to allow non-free firmware in their official installation images, so the latest hardware should also be supported.

Just tried it out today - works on my laptop. Fedora 37 (and I believe Ubuntu has 5.15) has Kernel 5.19, am I missing anything by staying on 5.10?

If you want a later kernel than the default one, just install the package. Debian just released packages of Linux 6.0.
