I used Ubuntu in my college for some light programming and felt really happy about it.
I am more interested in switching to Debian 12 than Ubuntu, since the former is really stable. Also, I came to know installing Debian is easier since it supports non free firmware.
Can’t say for testing, but this is s bit of an odd case. In the past Sid received gnome version jumps faster than arch. However, this timee I’m still stuck on 43, receiving all sorts of updates on that version, but the jump isn’t happening for whatever reason. So ymmv.
