Cinnamon is cool and all but I prefer KDE Plasma. It seems to eliminate all the pain points Linux desktop environments typically have and everything just works.

> Pair it with Debian A KDE dev mentioned on a podcast that issues related to Debian Stable get closed automatically on their bug tracker because fixes don't get backported :/ https://old.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/1pneqp4/kde_dev_do_not_recommend_plasma_on_debian/ https://old.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/1pneqp4/kde_dev_do_n... My wife was complaining about Windows issues so I ended up installing Fedora with KDE on her laptop. I would have preferred Debian but using Testing (as suggested by the dev) doesn't some ideal.

  Debian Testing isn't really unstable - the dev wasn't exaggerating. But I'd also suggest Kubuntu (you can remove snap and all of its packages, and install Firefox and Thunderbird .deb's from the Mozilla repo)

    Debian testing is rolling release. More akin to Arch or Gentoo really.

      You're thinking of Unstable (Sid). It's also not like Arch or Tumbleweed because it gets locked down during release freeze and then gets a ton of updates all at once.
