Any good Debian-based OS for a laptop?

fin@sh.itjust.works to Linux@lemmy.ml – 58 points –

I'm planning to put Debian-based operating system onto my Surface Laptop Gen 1, following the guide (linux-surface). Any good Debian-based Linux recommendations? For now I'm considering AntiX (lightweight debian) and normal Debian.

P.S. I’ve installed pure Debian, as everyone suggests. Thanks for advice!

If you want Debian, just install Debian.

Maybe if you're into wm setups and you'd like to not have to do everything from scratch you can install Bunsenlabs instead.

It's just plain Debian with preconfigured Openox, that's all.

Never heard of Bunsenlabs. It looks good!

It is :)

There's a very useful and friendly forum at https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/ and it is very easy to replace openbox with any other wm of your choice, as long as you're fine with X11.
