…and it went very smoothly. I installed on a spare PC for now, but I could absolutely see this becoming my daily driver. I’m mostly surprised at how snappy and responsive it is, even on 10 year old hardware!

    Don’t let the haters get you down. As a long time linux-enthousiast, you are 100% correct. It absolutely still has troubles and doesn’t “just work”. it’s a lot better than it used to be, and it’s on a great upwards trajectory!

    But we as a community are overly dismissive of real problems, and I think that does a lot of damage to our reputation.

      Thank you. I’m impressed and grateful at how far it’s come just in the last few years. Debian 13 is mostly problem-free for me, which was a lucky break with Windows going to shit so fast at the same time.

        Nice! I use Debian all-day every-day, and I think it’s a great starting distro, if a bit dated sometimes. I’d be a little cautious of Debian 13 as it just came out of testing, so it might have some lingering bugs. But if it works for you, then it works :)
