@Anolutheos @Lolors17 I use Mint Debian edition. I got fed up opening my laptop and having to update when MS said so, so switched to Ubuntu, then Mint, the LMDE and have stayed for 4 years. It’s not exciting, cutting edge, etc but neither am I! It just works all the time. Updates are easy and everything is boringly reliable - I love it!

@Nuuskis Are you using a System76 machine? If so, how do you find it? And importantly how would you rate the keyboard against a ThinkPad / Lenovo?

@skillissuer @code Do more than consider! - It’s perfect.
Maybe not cutting edge, exciting or novelty-filled but dependable, and rock solid.

@Nuuskis That sounds like an interesting arrangement too - let us know when you do that and how you get on! 😉👍

@NotMichaelCera I’d tried using various flavours of Linux over the years since 2003/4 but never had the right motivation or conditions. That changed in 2018 when I repeatedly opened up my Windows 8 laptop to do something quickly and was told that I couldn’t because Windows had decided to do updates or fix itself somehow instead.
I lost patience, dual booted Ubuntu, eventually solely Mint and now the past two years on Mint Debian edition. I never looked back!! 🤗
