Thanks for the post, I wanted to try Debian on my main desktop, but alas, couldn't make the wifi dongle work (I found the solution for Mint, so I eventually installed LM), however, I am still eyeing Debian for two things you've mentioned...the philosophy and the stability. As I use my comps to do work, I am not looking for a frequent distro-hopping (how different would using Libre Office would be on an Xth distro, right?), so stability is a main factor. That being said, I am also very satisfied with Mint itself.

 

So, not so long ago I have made a switch from Win 10 to Linux Mint on my older laptop. I like it, and I have decided to switch to Linux also on my main desktop (to be honest, I've realized I don't actually do anything Windows-specific I can't do on Linux). I am thinking of trying Debian. I know it's not the best for total newbies, but I am willing to commit time to learn a thing or two to make it work to my needs (which are not many). I am just worried - would I be able to setup up my two monitors to work? From what I read, it's not that easy, so that worries me a bit (although, it's nothing which would stop me from the switch). Can anyone provide an opinion about it, please? Many thanks in advance.

Why would goregrind be garbage?
