I am thinking about switching from Windows to Debian 12 Bookworm
I used Ubuntu in my college for some light programming and felt really happy about it.
I am more interested in switching to Debian 12 than Ubuntu, since the former is really stable. Also, I came to know installing Debian is easier since it supports non free firmware.

Yes, I will try it with Debian live before installing. Thanks
I would seriously look a a distro that is a little more desktop oriented like Mint.Straight Debian needs a lot of work after installation before its really nice as a desktop solution, out of the box it does make a great server however.
I use Debian stable on desktop and it's pretty great. It's more up to date than Ubuntu LTS, and there wasn't any extra tinkering needed in my case (and I'm a developer).
Granted, Stable used to be always very stale, even to the point of being nicknamed Debian Stale, but something has happened in recent years and it's rarely the case anymore. A new release every two years helps, I guess.
