Yeah, a co-worker of mine uses Debian as their desktop. When my company started
setting up a new L2TP style VPN, they got cooked because Debian 9 didn't have
the network-manager-l2tp stuff yet. Debian 10 did, so they ended up upgrading
to it sooner than later. Even then, new problems arose from that. Sigh..

I think ultimately, I'm going to be moving everything back to Fedora. I just
prefer it, and I see the way they're moving is going to allow for a bit more
flexability in things with their new "modular" repository where you can choose
to use specific versions of software because you're needing it, or because
you're not yet ready to move up just yet, whichever the case may be.

That, and I like being able to maintain some specific packages that I wouldn't
normally find/get for Debian/Xubuntu. Things I've either already made .spec
files for, or can easily. ;)
