What was stopping the person before? I've been using debian as my desktop for years.

    Watching the video, the main reason is native up-to-date drivers, mostly for nvidia

    I'm not into videos, but yeah ok, the person had a particular obnoxious computer that they wanted to use, rather than something being wrong with debian. I always take linux compatibility into account when buying hardware in the first place.

    Same: just built a frankenstein PC of spare parts gathered with the purpose of running Debian 13 on it because that's what I love. But I also recognise that I know my way around stuff when I need to troubleshoot...

    With flatpak and distrobox, the underlying system and package manager does not matter too much anymore to the end user.

    bs-manager flatpak won't work, the AUR version does. That's more convincing than I'll ever need to go back to Arch.

    Some people prefer to have a game mod manager working immediately, others prefer their system working for years instead of failing to boot after an update.

    "For now", is more like it.

    This happens with every refresh 😂 6 months from now you'll be fighting to get Mesa updated or something.

    I don't get this obsession with always having the latest and greatest. I'm more of a "if it isn't broke don't fix it" kind of person
