I installed debian just a few weeks ago on my brand new desktop. AMD Ryzen 5800x, MSI B550 motherboard, MSI Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti. Everything worked, out of the box, without adding anything magical. Including Ethernet, wifi, Bluetooth and hardware accelerated graphics. Have been buying Nvidia gpu's since forever and their (proprietary) drivers have never let me down.

So I'm not sure what you're talking about. Also, more up to date software, I'm quite certain my Debian Sid has more recent versions of everything compared to what Ubuntu has.

Yeah, I've met those kind of comments for 15 years.

There is always somebody to say that in those kind of threads. Same as Vi is easy, try Manjaro, Nix, this latest implementation of LISP, that NoSQL db, this DSL, etc.

I used to give them the benefit of the doubt, spend some time testing the alternative the person talked about, came out disappointed, and wasted time.

Now I just trust numbers. When 100 people like you will tell me the same for 3 years, I will try.

Before that, I'll stay on what I know works.

I use Linux distributions since 1995, starting with Slackware 2.0, there is always someone that tells that.

Hence why I mostly run Linux on VMs nowadays, and Android/Linux.
