If your needs are to move to a more stable distro, I'd do Debian 12.   I
followed the mythtv wiki for Debian and created a script that I run on a
Debian 12 VM to build the mythtv packages and post them to my NAS in a repo
directory that all my Debian laptops/frontends include in their
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory.

When I get some time, I'm going to redo my production system which houses
mythtv-backend and my NAS for the house. It will be on Debian 12 but I
usually just build on new hardware and get it working and just remove the
old box and replace it with the new box.  That requires me to commit to $$$
and I need to save up before I can justify that.
