I really need to check this out.
Right now I have one Ubuntu VM for LXC, since the Debian had LXC only on version 3.
But Ubuntu went into the deep end with snaps, so I will not upgrade it.
Though in other post here people suggested Nix, so... so many options :)
I'm also considering moving to Debian from Ubuntu, both for my laptop and for my server. I feel so unsure as to what the correct option is, and I'm old enough to no longer be interested in tinkering too much ...
On my work laptop I have Mint. Seems to be much better than Lubuntu. Though I don't use Cinnamon, I use dwm everywhere. Still like Mint way more than Ubuntu.
But on every other server apart from the LXC VM is Debian, and always has been. It's rock solid, and blazingly fast. Minimal installs are always quick, come with almost everything I need, and you don't need to learn anything new in switching between them.
The only issue is slightly older packages. Many have backports, but not all of them.
I'm inclined to try Debian "testing" first, but if it doesn't feel right I might give Mint a go.
