I’m definitely not trying to convince you or anyone that your choice of Debian is wrong. Like I said, if it works for you, that’s great. And I don’t mean that sarcastically haha.

I was iffy about immutable for a long time because I’m definitely a tinkerer. But it ended up being the best Linux experience I’ve had in almost a decade of using it.

It does pose problems if you need custom compiled kernel modules, but that’s few and far between. Especially with something like Bazzite that tries to include everything one might need in their images.

Maybe what I don’t understand is less a new user’s choice of Debian or Ubuntu, but moreso that it’s still so heavily recommended by Linux veterans when there are objectively better options.

Not understanding does not mean smugness or judgement from me, so no one crucify me lol. As long as it works for you, that’s all that matters.
