Any good Debian-based OS for a laptop?

I’m planning to put Debian-based operating system onto my Surface Laptop Gen 1, following the guide (linux-surface). Any good Debian-based Linux recommendations? For now I’m considering AntiX (lightweight debian) and normal Debian.

P.S. I’ve installed pure Debian, as everyone suggests. Thanks for advice!

Just go with Debian.

veer66,

Maybe Sparky Linux …

Normally, I use Debian. However, Debian 12 installer didn’t work on my Acer Extensa 💻. So I installed Sparky Linux, and it works.

Debian Testing. My daily driver since… a long time :)

Debian.

If you want to try something different, maybe LMDE.

Go with Linux Mint, but the Edge edition. This will have the best chances to support your hardware, because it uses a newer kernel.

rtxn,

If you want something Debian-but-not-Ubuntu-based, give LMDE a try.

bloodfart,

i tend to go with debian.

You can just go for Ubuntu, Mint or AntiX if you want good experience. Debian can be harder but it’s quite stable (unless you use KDE). Any other suggestions depend on your use cases. For example, you can only use Ubuntu based distros for some Android development tasks

just_another_person,

Pick one. It’s debian-based. You literally can’t pick “the wrong one”. You just have uninstall what you don’t like, and install what you want. That simple.
