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.

    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.

        Which advertisements? (Genuinely curious, using Graphene OS and won’t switch back, when I still used normal Android there weren’t any ads yet)

            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).
