Linux nerds - anyone running vanilla debian for desktop? I’m sick of Ubuntu’s quirks and tossing up between mint and debian for my laptop. I am ~so old~ experienced so am fine with tinkering and do always come back to Gnome so thinking to just go back to basics. Just thought I would throw the thought outbtheiand see what others are using: what’s your daily driver?
Maybe LMDE is the best of both worlds for you.
At the moment, Aurora (non-gaming Fedora KDE Bazzite flavour) on laptops/minipc and Bazzite on desktop.
Would I recommend? If you never need to install anything tricky (unless you distrobox it) as guides don’t tend to suit atomic desktops, then it just works and silently updates in background all the time. Flatpak covers most needed software. KDE version is nice. It does suit users that really don’t care they are using Linux.
Nothing ever seems to go wrong but I won’t lie, at one time early in the piece, there was some manual intervention required due to error they had. Nothing since.
