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!
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
How lightweight do you really need to go? I have a Lenovo “barely worth calling a chromebook” with 4GB/64GB/2 core N4000. It’s fine with Gnome on Bookworm.
My Son, SpiralLinux, is the neatest lil package of Debian you could ever want. It comes with all the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi drivers I need and it actually has an installer (Calamari’s I think?) that’s efficient and easy to understand.
Other than that-…. Uuuuhhhhh have you tried Hanna Montana OS?
