Debian and KDE is a great combination and things have been running very smoothly so far. I think I have officially converted.

    Highly recommend KDE connect. It’s the number one thing keeping me from experimenting other compositors, I just can’t see myself not having it.

    Could you share any particular points that made you switch? I’m currently on Manjaro and I was thinking of switching to Fedora. But now I’ve started hearing good things about Debian…not sure how to proceed!

      Please don’t use manjaro: https://manjarno.snorlax.sh/

      I recommend endeavoros if you want something arch based that’s pre-setup and configured.

      But debian has a very diffferent usecase from arch, everything is kept up to date in arch, if you need recent versions of things, don’t use debian.

      If you want things to not change, like on a server, or a workstation machine where you can’t risk a change breaking something, debian is great!

      For gaming, i’d pick arch any day because gaming stuff is changing so fast. It’s also better for wayland since that’s also changing quickly.

      Fedora is somewhat inbetween.

    Debian 12 is the best Debian ever made. I overlooked it for decades because it was so painful to use but 12 changed everything. I’m waiting to see it reviewed against LMDE6, because I doubt LMDE6 could be better/faster/lighter.

    Discover works out-of-the-box? And do the drivers work correctly?

    I myself would like to switch to Debian from Neon but I recently tried and the installation of the proprietary Nvidia drivers damaged my video input, and the open source drivers don’t have anywhere near the performance that the proprietary drivers have.

      I can’t speak to Nvidia issues as I don’t have an Nvidia card installed, but as of Debian 12, they do allow for the installation of proprietary non-free software which was often an issue in prior releases.

    Cool, I just switched from openSUSE Tumbleweed to Debian and KDE last month. No problems, works great.
