That's the problem though, a lot of widely-used software isn't in the default repos. Idk if you had personal or server software in mind, but thinking about a mix: Chrome, Docker, NodeJS, Discord, and Postgres either have you add an apt repo or download a bin.

That hasn't been my experience running Debian.

That was entirely my experience running Debian. Especially when you include needing a more up-to-date version of the software, rather than the years-old version that comes with Debian.

Switched to Fedora, and now the majority of things is recently updated in the repos. (The flatpak library is increasingly robust, but that of course applies to Debian too.)
