Is Debian with automatic updates a good idea?
Is Debian with automatic updates a good idea?
So a while back I threw Ubuntu 22 LTS on an old Surface Pro 3 and gave it to my Dad.
He loves it, but he's the type who's been burnt by updating software in the past, so he basically refuses any whenever prompted.
Been thinking about throwing Debian with Gnome on it for a while, and wondering if it's stable enough to just let updates happen automatically in the background?
I got no experience with Debian I basically jumped right on EndeavourOS as my main distro when I started using Linux full time.
You're viewing a single thread.
I think Debian with KDE would be better, at least for the current stable as KDE's LTS release aligns better with Debian's. I personally like the feel better, especially coming from Windows.
I am a KDE enjoyer and use it on my own desktop. But Gnome works really well for touchscreen devices and my dad has already gotten used to it so.
Ah okay, GNOME is great for touchscreen indeed. I'm just not so sure if it's a great match for Debian. I have used Debian with GNOME and I don't think ot's great at all.
On the other hand, GNOME on Fedora is awesome!
Bluefin would be a great choice of distro honestly. Immutable so can't be messed with, automatic upgraded out of the box, GNOME on Fedora.
