Debian is like that. Mature. The point releases are thoroughly tested for reliability, but the cost is that they can't include bleeding edge software in the middle of the release cycle. The "stable" branch (currently Trixie) is always lagging behind, and the "testing" branch (Forky, next in line to become "stable") will be frozen long before it is released.
You might want to try a rolling release distro. Arch Linux or something based on it (EndeavourOS, Garuda, CachyOS), or Debian Sid (the unstable branch).
