idk about op, but if i asked about a good linux tablet, i would mean the hardware not the software
for me a good linux tablet means i can take my favorite linux distro, install it without big hassle and have a good performing computer with all components working afterwards
while good performing can be interpretable
Nixpkgs is actually one of the most up to date software repositories. (~90% according to repology)

When exploring GTK programming, I ran into a very specific problem:
I created an application that crashes when i open a GtkDropDown, so to debug the crash I ran my app inside GDB. When GDB notices an application crashing, it freezes it, so i can analyze the state in which it crashed. The GtkDropDown grabs the pointer, like `rofi` or `i3lock` grab the pointer to prevent the window manager from exercising any keyboard shortcuts. Problem is now, the application gets frozen while the pointer is grabbed, so I'm basically locked out of my window manager.
To close the application, I can just log into a TTY and kill the GDB process, but I would like to have a simpler solution, that possibly doesn't kill the application.
Is there a way with Xorg to get out of such a situation without switching to the TTY? If not, why can a single user application completely prevent you from using anything in your graphical environment?
Because Xorg bad? Should I switch to Wayland?
Solution (thanks to @trachemys@iusearchlinux.fyi):
- switch to TTY and log in
- `export DISPLAY=':0'`
- `setxkbmap -option grab:break_actions`
- `xdotool key XF86Ungrab`

Arch and any arch based distro. It’s overused, deb is better and the absolute chads will always be distros like NixOS or Guix System. There is no use for an unstable, beginner-unfriendly, distro where you constantly encounter dependency hell.
Of course I’m just being edgy, every Linux Distro is good for the sole fact of it not being Windows.
its probably easier to debug the issues you currently have, than dealing with the suckness of imparative package management
