Really, it's just another distro despite the fanbois. It wasn't a big deal 
but 'packman -Syu' was the only outlier in 'zypper update', 'apt update', 
and dnf update'.  Of them all I prefer dnf. It shows you what it wants to 
update and asks if you want to do it rather than the 
apt update', 'apt list --upgradeable', 'apt upgrade' dance.

fwiw Ubuntu 26.04 just replace the 7.0.0.29 kernel with 7.0.0.30. It gets 
newer stuff than Debian but not quite as new as Fedora. Mint is off 
working on Cinnamon/Wayland. Ubuntu 26.04 is a LTS so maybe the next Mint 
(24? I lose track) will grab more.
