Not really, I just thought to myself since Windows 11 dropped 32-bit support, we will probably see more older systems come to light when Windows 10 dies.

Old Thinkpad refurbishing. Can’t wait till Windows 10 meets its EOL so I can finally get some more X60s

Honestly I can say that Debian has improved a lot since then. I was a Ubuntu user for around 2-3 years and thought the same thing about Debian until I realized I was just too lazy to switch haha. I use KDE for my desktop and everything is smooth. No tinkering with .conf files or anything, just install it.

Unfortunately, I use a NVIDIA graphics card and I will say that Wayland and NVIDIA don’t seem to mix well. I run X11 instead and it works fine but it is a little slower. Definitely buying a AMD card after my current card meets its EOL.

What’s holding you back from using Debian instead of Ubuntu? I found Debian to be relatively the same experience as using Ubuntu. NixOS seems interesting, but I honestly need to learn how to use Arch more first.
