You mean the step after the ludicrous amount of inpainting one has to do sometimes?
Apart from the mentioned adddetail lora (works in negative prompt as well), maybe rerunning the image through ultimate sd upscaler with the controlnet extension? (go easy on the denoise level here, or your image becomes a surrealist's dream)
I see no advantage in switching to VanillaOS (from Archlinux), and Ubuntu's tendendcy to ship everything in snaps does not make it better. Arch is swift and clean, snapshots (LVM) protect from broken updates, the archive allows rollbacks way into the past, the additional LTS Kernel bridges bugs in mainline. Rebuilding packages is easy with the available toolchain, and you can be sure every package is as vanilla as possible conpared to upstream.
Hiding complexity from the user just builds another layer of complexity that can break. I can fix an Arch or a Debian, but Vanilla sounds like it will break once you want to add a few sprinkles of chocolate.
systemd-path is the cleanest and most portable solution. You define a path service to watch your directory for changes and trigger another service to perform certain actions then. It uses inotify.

Pandora's box has been opened. AI will not go away and any attempt to enforce regulation to it will only harm the public and open source development while big corporations will just train their models off-shore in secrecy.
Society has to adapt to this new technology that is altering our every lives. We did this before, we will do it again. The only thing we must watch out for is for AI to become only available to big corporations; no company (and preferably no government) must be allowed to have sole reign over such a powerful technology. If everybody has access, then everybody will know what to watch out for when they see it.
Do not fear technology, fear those who do not want to share it.

I did this years ago and it worked for me as long as nobody with a 24 hours cycle was part of my private life.
Sleep deprivation will cause your body to rot. Wounds heal slower and you are more susceptible to illness, your brain function is muted and you will loose hair.
Chemicals that keep you awake are only borrowed time which your body will claim back by just switching you off after enough non-stop-action.
Set it to airplane mode the day it arrives and never let it go online with the stock firmware if you value privacy - these beasts even send amazon the page you are reading currently on. Calibre is the best tool, it autoconverts anything if needed. It also has an RSS-to-newspaper feature that can create a custom newspaperlike magazine from your favorite feeds for you. Reading manga on Kindle is really fun.

Regardless of the distro, unless you use Kernel live patching (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel_live_patching) you should boot a new Kernel when it is released by your distro with a security warning. Running unpatched old Kernels just for 100% uptime is not safe.
Oh and, I never had issues with Arch changing spontaneously - what event are you speaking of?
We use Ansible as well, it keeps all servers happily upgraded and all packages in working order - even the weirdest custom software instances. Nodjs is available as lts packages im arch and it, again, just works.
I have zero issues with upgrades on desktop and server except once last year when my old Core2Duo notebook I use in the kitchen did not suspend correctly for a whole week until the Kernel bug was fixed. (I ran linux-lts for a week, it was... smooth sailing).
During that time we had 3 failed migrations of old PHP software to the new Ubuntu LTS and were fighting almightly RHEL because it simply did not provide the packages the customer required - we are now running an Arch container on the RHEL box...
I know this discussion is a little bit like religion, and obviously luck and good circumstances play a role. We both speak from experience and OP can make their own decision.
Once a year there is a manual intervention. Last one was the repo merge, and that did not even break then. Before that... hmmm... I dont even remember.
On Desktop with nvidia and a lot of other AUR stuff it is more work, but the servers run smooth as butter.
i never knew! fantastic!
