Ahh, debian lurkers!
Just out of curiosity, not to hijack the thread, but don't find a lot of
pure debian users... what train of debian are you and/or most people
using for desktop, if not just servers? Curious what others are using
if not the usual ubuntu flavors of deb, or raw debian even.
Ubuntu's become mostly a basketcase where I spend as much time removing,
disabling, fixing, or hunting bugs in literally everything I do that I
felt it's time to move on. I can't remember the last time I upgraded
clean without spending a week with fallout. Wait, yes I can - about the
time Unity replaced things, and they did away with debian installer.
Whodathunkit.
Figure go to the source, but debian has been an adventure in itself. I
used cinnamon debian mint on my laptop with a haswell chip, and the
graphics are buggy with anything that attempts to use GL. Go figure,
Intel is always a winner here.
I used Mate-based debian mint on my desktop, which is apparently an
adventure with new hardware on a z97 chip, 2nd gen haswell, and my
trusty ATI card which sadly I still cannot replace with an nvidia to
drive my 6 displays. Couldn't upgrade to 3.15 with z97 patches (damn
ati), settled on a 3.11, and tossed in a usb sound card for now until
ati wakes up and updates the driver for 3.15 with alsa fixes.
I thought to go pure debian, but was hoping mint debian would prove a
bit better. Admittedly, once working it's been fairly good, but lots of
weird bugs/caveats too - just wondering what the consensus is around it.
