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.

    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?

    Is the integrated AI any good?

    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).
