Back to Debian

After experiencing some issues with openSUSE tumbleweed and only being able to install Niri with a minor fix, I realized that rolling releases are not for me. At present, Niri is still not fixed in openSUSE (as of September 13, 2025, 28 days ago), and the current release has not yet appeared in openSUSE.

My solution to this problem doesn't make any sense at all, but it makes me very happy at the moment: Debian 13 and GNOME.

Right now, I'm looking for stability, and what could be better than Debian? Plus, we've hit the sweet spot with Debian 13 just coming out. So don't ask me in six months if I'm still this happy.

What's so great about Debian? It runs without any problems, whether on my desktop or my Framework 12. All codecs are included, and all my apps are there too (otherwise there's Flathub)...

But why Gnome and no more Tiling Window Manager? I can't say exactly, and I'm not completely done with keyboard shortcuts yet. But you can also configure a lot of stuff in GNOME

More on that later, for sure.
