FYI, Ubuntu is a heavily advertised distro. Its pretty bottom barrel for quality.

If you want a modern linux distro, try Fedora Cinnamon or something that isnt on Debian branch.

It is not surprising that you posted this flame bait from a throwaway account.

What is wrong with Debian?

      It is _stable_, not outdated. You are practically guaranteed that if you’re running Debian Stable, and live only within the official apt ecosystem, you will not have software-based instability.

      Debian Sid makes a better desktop distro than Ubuntu. The drivers are up to date, the instability is greatly exaggerated and installing nonfree codecs is easy (so easy with virtually any distro that it shouldn't even enter into the equation...)

      This said, I prefer OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, which is rolling release yet more stable than Sid. Rolling release + extensive testing + automatic snapshotting gets you the best of all worlds.
