After years of distro hopping, I had one to many updates which borked some driver & realized what I’m really looking for is my laptop should be boring stable appliance. Incredibly happy with it so far.

Debian is the great choice if you need an OS to manage files and run programs.
Hey! I’d like to manage files and run programs!
And if I want to use my OS to feel cool? If I want to run programs whose new features I mostly don’t per se need but which give me an artificial sense of agency and make me feel less empty? If seeing a wall of updates whose contents I’ll rarely bother to inspect gives the little autism gremlin living in my brain an erection? What then, Debian fanboys?
sed -i '/ trixie /!d; s/trixie/unstable/g' /etc/apt/sources.listTruly that simple!
Note that packages in unstable channel are promoted from testing, so switching to unstable effectively puts you on to something similar to a rolling distro, but more stable ;)
you can always add repositories that push updated software, or side load it as a .deb from a download
you can also compile it from source yourself

I just wanted you to know that this got a good chuckle out of me.
Is the integrated AI any good?
That’s the best part, you ARE the integrated AI
Bold of you to assume I’m intelligent - I use Arch BTW.
Hey a 16 parameter set is still AI
It is OS. It doesn’t have any “integrated AI”.
What else can you even do with a computer besides managing files and running programs?
That said (with tongue in cheek), I went from Ubuntu to Mint and can’t see myself starting all over again. I’m not savvy, I don’t terminal or at least I never have. I’m just a musician that also plays awkwardly with Blender. An absolute computer casual. But Debian does sound lovely.
Arch users: Update OS!
Gentoo users: Compile OS!
*BSD users: Trying to make the OS work!
Windows: reboot and reinstall!
Android: Watch advertisements!
DOS: hm… Well. Yes.
Which advertisements? (Genuinely curious, using Graphene OS and won’t switch back, when I still used normal Android there weren’t any ads yet)
Not in the OS per se, but the only purpose of 97% of Android software is to show you as many ads as possible.
Interesting, apart from YouTube I have never used extra software that shows ads. Luckily projects like NewPipe exist for that, so the only place where I currently can’t avoid all ads is in the browser on my tablet (its an iPad so the browser sadly doesnt support ad blockers).
