    Totally get using others if something isn’t working. I’ve been known to (gasp) throw on another distro to get past a problem until a new kernel release or bug fix comes in, but it’s the rarity now. I gotta be honest that I’m surprised it was Debian which solved a corner case for your gaming table. Maybe it was a monitor issue or weird (old) hardware?

    Good call on the final pass with Windows. With Steam, you really can’t miss on hardly any game these days unless it’s bloated with DRM, but who am I to speak - I have XBox that can actively spy on me for those DRMed games… Carry on.

    That’s crazy talk right there. After decades of who knows how many Linux distros, SunOS/Solaris, HPUX, AIX (and a splash of FreeBSD), the proper answer is this:

    • Mint
    • Already correct! >Mint
    • Mint
    • Mint - hardened if external
    • I’ll allow it

    Non-Linux

    • por que!? OOF… this should be Mint or really any Linux is better
    • I’ll allow it, though I find OMV to be better for various reasons

    Not gatekeeping - just having a bit of fun. You do you, but I found it crazy supporting so many distros after all these years. At some point you go for “works great out of the box with minimal tinkering” that covers like 99% of use cases and frees up your time. That being said I’m sure I have a system or two around here still running Ubuntu or Debian or whatever that I just can’t be arsed to change.
