Linux nerds - anyone running vanilla debian for desktop? I'm sick of Ubuntu's quirks and tossing up between mint and debian for my laptop. I am so old experienced so am fine with tinkering and do always come back to Gnome so thinking to just go back to basics. Just thought I would throw the thought outbtheiand see what others are using: what's your daily driver?

I usually just run Xubuntu. I think it avoids most of the Canonical bullshit while still being close enough that everything that works on Ubuntu works on it. My main desktop and my old laptop are Xubuntu, and my work laptop is Ubuntu with a gnome plug-in to give me the top application bar like XFCE. But I'm obviously not too annoyed by Canonical.

    Same. First thing I do is disable snaps. Other than snaps, I’ve not run up against anything annoying Ubuntu has done (that I’m aware of).

    Also been using Kubuntu a lot more lately because it has some neat applications. I love how plain XFCE is though. XFCE and KDE such great DEs.
