As an former Ubuntu fan boy, for well over a decade, I second the recommendation of MXlinux over Ubuntu.
Lighter weight and Debian base is great. It is also friendly to Linux newbies with helpful tools, community and documentation.
I use Devuan on many of my computers, which is also based on Debian.

@matthew@social.retroedge.tech why don't folks ever actually rec debian itself? Curious. I'm on fedora, with debian running a server, but as an option on a laptop I could see a case for debian itself.

@matthew@social.retroedge.tech @leoschuldiner23@beige.party @maulonobile@mastodon.uno I know Devuan is basically Debian without systemd -- So what advantage does MXlinux hold? And literally any other *nix distro is better than Ubuntu if you want a stable system!
