Hi, this is my attempt to do exactly that ...
Are you aware that there are dozens of linux distributions that differ
in the attempts that their designers make to satisfy the different
use-case needs for different users?
Have you seen the comparison site:
https://distrowatch.com/
Why have you chosen to use Debian in particular?
Maybe Debian isn't designed for your usage preferences. There
are many different approaches and tradeoffs made by different
Linux distributions to achieve different security goals, see this
discussion for example:
