Give me one reason why I shouldn't install Debian on my ThinkPad?
>>55017176
Crickets from me. Debian is the best Linux distro, aside from maybe CentOS.
>>55017176
Because better, more modern yet as stable and especially systemd-less alternatives exist.
>>55017176
because the neets will mock you for using a distro that works
>>55017219
Debian supports other inits
>>55017176
I've been hearing about ThinkPads a lot recently.
How do they compare for devfags like me who bought rMBPs for development work?
Because it has shitty default configs
Go for it
>>55017231
No. We only mock the 'elitest' Arch users in these parts.
>>55017238
Sure, but you risk instabilities and lose official support.
>>55017268
Yeah, I mean I haven't used Debian in like 8 years but it's not that bad. Systemd cancer infects too many people these days.
Do what you want you fucking validation-seeking retard.
Jesus Christ, these threads should be an autoban.
>>55017176
Because you haven't flashed Libreboot on it yet
>>55017176
Fedora is better
If you really want to use apt-get just use Ubuntu
Test
Because for me, on my thinkpad, audio was fucked up and it was a pain in the ass to even attempt to fix.
>>55017202
CentOS isn't that good on the desktop, though. For a business workstation, sure, but not a personal machine.
Install Ubuntu server and slap a DE on it. Oh and libreboot you fucking nigger
>>55017939
This.
Fedora is the absolute best distribution for the desktop.
>>55018936
why
>>55017176
Cause Gentoo exists
Debian doesn't have any advantages over Ubuntu. Ubuntu does have minor advantages over Debian, like proprietary wifi drivers being installed by default and nicer default desktop themes. Debian cucks itself to Richard Stallman even though the FSF still won't endorse Debian because they give instructions for installing non-free software.
>>55019769
>Implying proprietary software by default is better
Aren't Ubuntu's updates like a week behind Debian? Why would anyone use Ubuntu when there's Debian?
>>55019062
This. Gentoo ftw. Although I have heard of some Thinkpads having issues when it comes to hardware support. Not sure if that's just pebcak though. It usually is.
>>55019877
It is better in every way unless you're a free software cuck. Having no proprietary wifi drivers on a laptop means you have to go plug into ethernet and then install the driver. Why not just have it work by default? Other than that Ubuntu and Debian are indistinguishable, except for the fact that Xfce looks like complete crap in Debian while it looks pretty good in Xubuntu.
What are the benefits of using Debian over Ubuntu? No meme answers please
>>55019877
ubuntu is a snapshot of debian testing/unstable with a theme pack
>>55020015
don't listen to this idiot
>>55017176
because its not gentoo
install gentoo

Enjoy your dependency sodomy
>>55017176
Mint or Debian, all else is trash
>>55022841
Kek.
Enjoy your russian backdoor.
>>55022841
Mint is trash.
It doesn't respect your freedoms enough.
>>55018936
tfw best distribution for the desktop doesnt have compton in its repositories , therefore making lxde/xfce/mate and most WM the definition of tearing
No.
>>55020212
delet this
>>55017176
Windows work, Debian not.
>>55017176
Old as fuck packages, you could run sid but at that point it'is better to just use an actual rolling release distro and not just a testing one.
because you are retarded
j/k
>>55022898
Thanks for informing me.
>>55017923
are there any benefits from doing that apart from muh freedoms?
>>55017176
it's a gimped ubuntu at this point
>>55026595
>you could run sid but at that point it'is better to just use an actual rolling release distro
Literally zero difference.
"experimental" is Debian's testbed, not sid.
>>55017176
DRIVERS
R
I
V
E
R
S
>>55022166
This
>>55026717
Actually both are Debian's testbed

Reported for having an IQ lower than 100.
Congrats.
Using Debian Sid over Arch is retarded. Sid freezes so you'll have months of no new interesting updates.
>>55017176
Because Fedora is a better desktop distro.
