  • There are millions of people out there who do 99% of their stuff in browser, and never need the newest shiniest features for graphics, or gaming or whatever. Plasma 5.27 works great for years. People only get fomo if they follow this stuff constantly. And most people dont. Lemmy/linux is a very niche gathering of nerds

    To say that debian is not a good daily driver for most people, i still disagree for the above reasons

    I’m not a professional or anything, but i get my basic photo and video editing just fine on debian.

    For example, i used to chase all the latest and greatest digikam versions because “ooooh! New features!!”… In hindsight, there was nothing really that groundbreaking each update, and i just go back to using the core features that have been stable for years.


  • but I wouldn’t recommend it on a computer you’re actively using

    Debian is my daily driver on all my computers. Servers, desktop, laptop. Its called the universal operating system for a reason

    Packages are regularly updated with bug fixes for security issues. Do you absolutely need the latest features for every software? Debian is fine unless theres some killer new feature you absolutely need.

    Hardware support is mostly fine unless you have the absolute latest hardware (which OP doesnt). And backport kernels should take care of newer hardware
