- nsomaru 7y agoDebian works fine on my 2016 XPS 13 and my 2012 x230. To be honest all Ubuntu would give me these days is a preconfigured DE, but XFCE default on Debian works fine for me. Also, now I run the same distro on my Dev box as in production ;)
- deadbunny 7y agoUbuntu does have some advantages over Debian (Stable vs LTS) on the server IMO: Packages are generally a bit newer vs. Debian They release newer kernels throughout the release A defined 2 year release cycle Generally better supported by 3rd parties Support available if needed (I've never used it but some businesses won't buy anything without support)
