Update: I chose mint. I can trust Mint to update the backend.
I’m about to switch back to Debian.Any reason I don’t know of that Elementary OS would be a bad idea? I know Debian. I don’t know the nuances of Arch or red hat.
I found my final missing FOSS video editor that finally gets me off Windows. I’ve been having issues with indexing on windows, and they keep turning on that fucking reminder to sign into One drive even after I destroy it with a registry change.
Idk. Let me ask you, why Debian over a prepackaged setup? Genuinely asking. No sarcasm.
Because for the most part you can achieve everything these packaged distro offer without the middle man, which means greater trust in the system, faster turnaround on package updates, easier time finding help, etc.
Okay, and you are right I could just use pantheon if I wanted on Debian lol.
