  1. Thank you! You experience just justifies the reasoning that I had. I have never tried Arch but did think of couple of times, I work in IT and I have infra issues to resolve, so cannot spend lot of time with issues on the work device(which runs Debian due to Zoom, google meet VoIP, otherwise FreeBSD :). If you like recent releases of software, try FreeBSD, the stability and package collection like Debian and fresh like Fedora! I use FreeBSD on my personal Desktop which has dual boot of Debian just for the sake of VoIP apps.

  2. Debian is actually comparable to Arch and even Gentoo on speed. Long ago, Phoronix did some benchmarks and Debian was equal and even beat the others couple of times. :)

  3. Try Debian testing or even Sid if you really want rolling distro.

  4. Please review/update your journey with Debian 11 usage and upgrading to 11, your insights may help others. Just like how Debian releases when its ready, a user is free to upgrade when he/she is ready. :)

  5. I would also suggest FreeBSD - Debian like stability + packages and the fresh like Fedora, having recent s/w.

  6. I don't have the luxury of a broadband connection so Debian really works out well, only security updates compared to many updates from Ubuntu. Most of the earths population does not have access to internet yet, so I like the Debian and Slitaz model of providing packages as downloadable disks.

  7. Credit where due, rolling distro users contribute to community more, esp if they file bug reports.

  8. If you need the main Firefox version, as Debian has ESR, you can use Ubuntuzilla repo, it packages, the main release and seamonkey.

  9. Long back Ubuntu was comparable to Arch on perf, I think it remains so, and Debian is significantly lightweight and a bit better than *buntu. Link below. https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ubuntu_arch_faster&num=6

  10. Hope LXC matures and survives, but looks like Redhat has deprecated LXC/LXD.

  11.  @autohmae  Good to know, cuz on CentOS forums and IRC there were suggestion to move out of this.

  12.  @vishwakarma00  What adapter is that? Unfortunately h/w support is still patchy as it is volunteer based, but improving. GNU/Linux was like this and later as many vendors started supporting, it improved. See if anyone of these matches what you have, these are cheap btw. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=soVIUsdqWeg

  13.  @vishwakarma00  Yeah, np, but BSD is not GNU/Linux. At work we use Debian based distros as it has the widest support from Slack, and other vendors. :)

  14. What I liked about KDE (as a long time XFCE user) is the full experience it provides. You don't need to worry about fiddling around. It just worked for me, ofc, this is on Debian with Plasma 5.14, KDE 4.x was a different story. KDE 3.x was also good. I am just dreaming about E on BSD and Debian. Idk when it will stabilize like e17.
