People new to linux don't necessarily know that debian comes with old kernels, or what the consequences of this are. When I got into linux (admittedly, around 9 years ago), it was quite hard to come by information on what the appropriate distros for which situations were. Heck, at the time, I thought distros were just different skins for the computer, no thanks to the *buntu panel of distributions.
I wish the linux community did a better job explaining that Debian is generally not a good fit for desktops/laptops, and that distros geared for this use-case should be used instead, like Ubuntu or Fedora.
- MisterSandman 5y ago"Debian uses old drivers" is a pretty big meme. If you're the kinda person who reads Hacker News or messed around with USB Audio Interfaces, it shouldn't be that hard to d a quick search on what the best distros are. Ubuntu. Mint. PopOS. Manjaro. Covers like 95% of use case syou could ever have.
