Personally, I use Debian for my little home server, but it's not a desktop OS for me. Nice thing about linux is we don't have to agree. We're free to use whatever we want. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) You would be genuenly suprised how good of a desktop OS it is, granted the packaged are old but keep in mind you can use repo packages for stability and flatpak for up to date software permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] reseller_pledge609@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) I'm sure it's perfecly fine as a desktop OS. It's just not for me. I prefer more up to date software, so I recommend Mint to anyone asking, but use Endeavour (Arch, BTW) myself. I finally understand why people are always singing the praises of the AUR. Also, if I'm going to lean into Flatpak as a packaging system, I'm gonna use it as an excuse to properly try an immutable system and see how I get along with it. Now, all of this is purely my own opinion. Other people can use and like what suits them. I'm not trying to gatekeep or be an elitist. I'm an absolute noob myself. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 years ago* (1 child) Honestly thats fair, im referring to people who dont need up to date software :3 (I dont use Debian, I use Arch btw) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] reseller_pledge609@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago In that case, I'd still recommend Mint or Mint Debian Edition unless the person knows what they want.

So far (installed the other night) I just hate how slow the Pop Store runs. Terminal is quick and fluid, Firefox was good, Jellyfin setup all seemed to go quick. Installing the client for my VPN (PIA) went on forever and had issues so I just installed OpenVPN and set up a single Spain VPN gateway there.
