I’m pretty sure sid also has package freezes for when it moves up to testing. In general Debian’s purpose is as a stable distro and it might be better to use a distro that focuses on rolling release for bleeding edge packages.

Can windows also break grub on gpt or only legacy mbr?

Flatpaks really have the added benefit of things just work. Many distros have problems with codecs for example and need to install extra packages to get video working in Firefox. The flatpak version doesn’t require any of this and you can just install and move on with your life. Yes dependencies are “redundant” sometimes but you have the added benefit of a really clean base system without hundreds or thousands of lib or dev packages. Also sometimes you need a specific version of a dependency. Let’s say you need to update it for compatibility with a specific package but that breaks another which needs an older version. The system can stay especially clean when it comes to the toolbox utility and dev environments (this is available in other distros as distrobox I think).

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. It’s surprisingly stable for a rolling release distro.
