I already moved all my servers to Debian, have not decided when I should do the same on the Desktop side yet, I don't really care about games/MIR/smart-UI-decision-made-for-me/one-GUI-does-all-screens etc, all I need is vim and a browser, with newer tested packages installed underneath for development.

- thinkmassive 13y agoI was using Arch as my laptop OS for a couple years until just recently switching to Ubuntu Server 14.04. Since I use i3 it still seems like the same environment. The reason I switched is because I'm developing solely on Ubuntu Server 12.04, and it's less work to get things working once instead of twice. Is there any advantage to using Debian over Ubuntu for servers and/or development?
- ausjke 13y agoI feel Ubuntu is moving towards more to the mobile arena which _could_ impact the desktop/server quality especially for the long run. It could also be fighting a battle that is too big with its limited resource(i.e. stretched too thin). I switched to Debian as a precaution.
