Thanks but nah, the argument for Debian is and always has been that Debian
*is* Linux.
I still have a list, last updated 2014, of things I had to do to get an Exe
or (pure) Debian system configured after install: Video, network, wifi,
touchpad, genuine Firefox/Thunderbird, multimedia, etc, etc. It's 91 lines
long.
Here's my list for MX, which as I said before is straight Debian as far as
how it works, but has some neat tools that make some things a lot easier:
1. Install from the ISO.
2. Install TDE.
3. Tweak a few things here & there.
4. Start using it.
Oversimplified just a tiny bit, but really not very much. Point is, if you
want to take a lot of time to get really good at under-the-hood Debian
stuff, by all means go for it. But if you just want a solid, working
Debian-based system with a minimum of time and hassle, save yourself the
time and aggravation and use MX.
