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?

Debian here. I used Mint after ditching Ubuntu around 2010. For some reason, when I upgraded the drives in my internal RAID1 from 2TB to 14TB a fresh Mint only recognized 999GB... Ubuntu too (tried just out of curiosity). Grandma Debian recognized the full size so I installed and stayed. That was 2022ish. No complaints.

It is a old (2013?) mobo / firmware RAID, not a "true" RAID, and those are known to be a bit odd.
