Install https://spirallinux.github.io/, it is not another distro, but preconfigured Debian, including btrfs-grub, you end with usual Debian, which will be updated only when Debian will.

The debian installer makes luks/btrfs hard when it's easy on other distributions. There is https://spirallinux.github.io/ that makes it easy though... it has some presets you can disable https://www.reddit.com/r/debian/comments/zbe73d/comment/iytrqnd/

If you want something closer to Debian, perhaps consider SpiralLinux. It's basically Debian with some quality-of-life additions. It also does a good job at giving access to other repositories very easy through some of their GUI tools.

It's really just SpiralLinux + Kicksecure and a few other software packages. Notably, Safing.io's Portmaster will be included in my guide.

How to install 535 nvidia driver on Fedora 39?
1 project | /r/Fedora | 5 Dec 2023

Also quick shoutout to Btrfs Assistant (also available from on Fedora's own repo). Its a GUI method of making/restoring snapshots. My new workflow is to use this to take a snapshot before upgrading any nvidia driver so that I can easily restore if needed. Sadly the issues this time were more subtle and a few days passed before I figured out that this is linked to the latest nvidia drivers, so I had to manually downgrade anyway.
