  • Allegedly they’ve gotten better about this recently, but historically, Debian suuuucked for hardware just via the kernel being too old. I was Debian for most things in the 2000’s and early 2010’s (now on Fedora for most things) and I’ve literally had to switch from a planned Debian setup for a server to an Ubuntu one because the kernel was too old to recognize the hard drive and I couldn’t get the process to install a custom newer kernel during install to work (and you kind of need hard drive support ON install). But like I said, allegedly it’s better now… good luck!


  • I recently tried out Fedora with KDE on a machine and I was really pleasantly surprised (everything else I have is Ubuntu or Fedora with Gnome rn although I’ve historically been XFCE mostly). I’ve been having bad Ubuntu experiences of late, so I’d suggest avoiding Ubuntu and Gnome because the Gnome team thinks they’re Steve Jobs or something and are always trying to blow our minds with insane, user-hostile decisions.
