Running Debian
Last weekend, I had a very brief distro-hopping moment.
For 10 minutes, openSUSE was back on my computer. I was surprised myself that I immediately reinstalled Debian 13.
I had assumed that not having a ‘brand new’ system would bother me too much.
But on the contrary: Debian's simplicity and stability brought me back very quickly. It also turns out that I have quite a lot of up-to-date software after all.
Basically, I only use 10 to 15 apps regularly. For some, it doesn't matter that they lag behind in a few features; for others, there's always Flathub.
I use Librewolf as my browser anyway, and it has its own repo.
I get a more up-to-date kernel or firmware via backports.
So I can highly recommend Debian... Simple, refreshingly old-fashioned and stable.
