Sick of Windows, I decided to install Debian. It just works.
Initially, I wanted to use hyprland, but Debian's packages were too outdated for it. I tried Openbox; wasn't a fan. Ultimately, I went back to what I'm comfortable with, XFCE. Err... Yeah that's about it... Smooth sailing.
My only real gripe is that the battery drains sort of fast, but that's more of an issue with the laptop than Debian.
