      I’m running debian Trixie with kde plasma.

      Only issues that annoy me:

      Two monitor setup. It often forgets my second screen and sometimes it’s moves the window out of the the still recognised one. Only a reboot fixes it.

      Sound: pipewire has some issues especially with wine where there’s a sound pitch fragment that every so often makes the audio distorted.

        It’s honestly a lot smoother than people say. Things mostly work fine, and the odd breakage is never a real issue and is quickly resolved.

        However, I had to install Librewolf as an AppImage, since bgstack15 was having some trouble getting the OBS to work recently.

        Running sid for 5 years now. Had one major breakage where couldnt boot into DE automatically for a few days. I think it affected everyone…

        Had one other minor breakage where i ignored a warning from apt-listbugs… I learned my lesson after that

        So… Overall, sid has been a really good experience… Just make sure you read the listbugs warning on every update. And always double check if running full-upgrade to ensure nothing important is getting removed

        Debian distros are named after Toy Story characters.

        Sid is a kid who breaks all the toys.

        Sid is Debian’s unstable branch :D

        It’s the “unstable” rolling version of Debian. The issue I used to have with Debian was that the packages were quite old, but that’s not the case with Sid.

    This is why I use debian on my noobie home servers (I’m sorry Ubuntu I dont like you.) It runs my minecraft server just right. Its also why Arch is my daily work laptop. People’s whose only relation to linux is knowing me marvel at a command line update, and well anything command line.

      I agree on Ubuntu Server, messed around with it a bit years ago and was impressed how easy certain things were to set up, but evaluating it in virtual to see if it would be a good fit for a server I’m building right now, it was just annoyance after annoyance while Debian, though it had less ready out of the box, just… Worked. In a sensible fashion.

      I’ve been happy with it so far…

        I honestly think something is wrong with the only physical server I have. Bought it for 100 bucks in a parking lot and it wipes everything when it restarts. So I should maybe give Ubuntu a little more slack who knows what else was going on in this shitbox.
