Was your friend on Debian 12? If so, you can opt to try the later unofficial version (Debian 13). But then you lose some of that stability so kind of defeats the purpose.
If you ever dive into the realm of BSD OS's, I recommend checking out OpenBSD. As an obvious fyi, you can't use the BSD OS's for daily-driver purposes. Hardware requirements are too specific (old ofc) and certain software packages are not up to date.
If you are in need of an OS for local sensitive hard drive storage (encryption and security is top priority), then OpenBSD w/ the full encryption install is perfect.
