RubberAxeman,

Thanks for the post, I wanted to try Debian on my main desktop, but alas, couldn’t make the wifi dongle work (I found the solution for Mint, so I eventually installed LM), however, I am still eyeing Debian for two things you’ve mentioned…the philosophy and the stability. As I use my comps to do work, I am not looking for a frequent distro-hopping (how different would using Libre Office would be on an Xth distro, right?), so stability is a main factor. That being said, I am also very satisfied with Mint itself.

OK...coming from a complete Deban noob :)

So, not so long ago I have made a switch from Win 10 to Linux Mint on my older laptop. I like it, and I have decided to switch to Linux also on my main desktop (to be honest, I’ve realized I don’t actually do anything Windows-specific I can’t do on Linux). I am thinking of trying Debian. I know it’s not the best for...

RubberAxeman,

Thanks for your input! No gaming in mind (at least, nothing massive), mostly just browsing, Libre office, wordpress and social media. Of course, VLC abd maybe a bit coding. I could go with a single monitor, but got a bit used to dual config.

RubberAxeman,

Massive thanks for your comment!!! Not much of a gamer (got Xbox for it), so mostly office/wordpress, social media and VLC

RubberAxeman,

many thanks for your comment!!!

RubberAxeman,

So, the update. Yesterday I installed Linux Mint 21.2… I’ve spent about a good hour solving the problem with wifi, and I can report I found a solution. However, as my original plan was to install Debian (I have Mint 21.2 Cinammon on my laptop), well…long story short, I am in the middle of installing Debian right now. I expect a few issues, but it’s a challenge, so…let’s get ready to rumble!!! :) :)
