For many years, I’ve been using Debian but installing Ubuntu for others, fearing that Debian was too geek.

I spent hours "desenshitificating" Ubuntu.

After the Nth failed upgrade, I reconsidered.

Oh boy!

The Debian 13 GNOME live image is clean, polished, easy and perfect ! Install was a breeze, even with complex partitions. I only added a couple of gnome-shell extensions : dash2dock and desktop-icons.

Debian just works like I dreamed it should 25 years ago! Thanks Debian!
