This kind of thing is why I’ve only ever used Debian as a server distro until the Raspberry Pi started “fixing” various aspects of it… My Linux laptops ran Ubuntu for a solid decade until Fedora 36 turned me around (and I’ve been happy since).

But the key thing is that Debian tends to lag on user amenites (hardware, drivers, codecs, etc.) to a point where one wonders if they actually use the distro on modern hardware...

The trick with Debian is to use Debian testing. Despite the name it's thoroughly stable enough for desktop use. Debian stable is for when you're needing an OS for a nuclear power plant or something.

This could be advertised better.
