I always ended up with problems that made the computer unusable. Then last year my motherboard got fried by a power surge, so I determined to start over from scratch, and install some kind of GNU/Linux, and settled on Debian as the most stable, with the most forks and variants, and largest community. > > For the most part, my computer is running great right now.

I am really liking Debian in general (except for systemd), and cannot imagine going back to Ubuntu or Kubuntu, not even with TDE. I only want to make the transition to Devuan, which seems to stick to the original principles of Debian more than Debian nowadays. Only this issue has me worried. Otherwise, there are a lot of little bugs, but I gradually track them down and resolve them. Nice thing about Linux (regardless one's preference for what kind): it just gets better and better over time, as one learns how to resolve problems; whereas with the rotten Apple or Windoze, things start off good, and the machine runs fast, then it's all downhill from there.
