@mimichuu_ @exu Debian is a rock solid choice, & one you'll never regret making....

Any tips for when I do switch, by the way?

@mimichuu_ Yea I have a few off the top of my head....

  1. Try to update as regularly as possible.

  2. Use "netselect-apt" to get the best mirrors for APT.

  3. APT supports parallel downloads, so enable them straight after installation.

  4. APT caches downloaded packages by default, which can consume disk space over time. Make sure to clean it every once in a while with "sudo apt-get clean".
