Most of my fleet is running Ubuntu, but I always have at least one Debian machine. One of the features that tipped the scale to the Ubuntu side is the lack of proper WireGuard support in Debian 10.
I also have a few Raspberry Pi servers, and they’re all Ubuntu-based, since it’s the only properly supported server distro. I guess Raspberry Pi OS is too niche, and it’s mostly focused on education. I don’t think I’ll migrate my Pi’s to Debian any time soon, but I gave it a go on my main laptop and desktop.
Speaking of my desktop, it has a Zen 3 CPU and Debian 11 comes with a kernel v5.10, which is the first kernel with the full Zen 3 support. Just in time, that was a close call, but it looks like it’s going to work just fine, and it won’t be missing any features.
I’ve been running Debian 11 with KDE for a month now and my first impressions are good. Debian is still true to its reputation of a ridiculously stable Linux distro. It works great out of the box, and it needed very little tuning for my use cases.
I have a pretty exotic networking setup with both wired and wireless networks active at the same time, so I needed to make sure different kinds of traffic have different priorities. Setting this up was pretty easy and it’s a well-documented process.
