I would recommend spending some time with a none rolling release/less fiddly distro and see what you think. I haven't had to fiddle with linux since I switched to slackware and settled on a wm ~20 years ago; since then the only time I have had an update affect my workflow was when slackware went PulseAudio which only caused me maybe 2 minutes to deal with. I have config files old enough to vote.

My original reasons for switching to linux was Apple disrupting my workflow on each major upgrade and from what I can tell they have not stopped doing that.

I didn’t have issues with rolling release distro in the beginning, as most updates were security updates. But nowadays, I’m on versionned distro. What you’ve started with is what you’re going to get everytime you turn the conputer on. I have debian 12 on my home server and it never crashes or have any issues, just chugging along.
