Caleb James DeLisle (nprofile…mj4q) #Flatpak lets you install the latest version of each of your mentioned apps without any dependency issues on any distro. Even an older LTS one.
I've never seen a showstopping bug in #Debian Stable or a #RHEL distro (like #AlmaLinux) but the default kernels are older so the hardware support lags. They do introduce small bugs, though infrequently.
I tend to use either Debian Stable (with kernel back ports) or #Fedora on personal workstations.
#ublue has several Fedora atomic distros with #nvidia drivers included. They're complicated if you want to layer packages on the base image (so don't do it lol) but otherwise hard to break. They also enable #Flathub and #brew by default since they're the preferred methods of install. I've run Aurora for many months on a test bench without a hint of issue so far.
I've seen serious bugs on Ubuntu LTS and derivatives several times so I tend not to use them, but that's anecdotal.
Interested to hear what you eventually choose.
