Debian and KDE is a great combination and things have been running very smoothly so far. I think I have officially converted.
Welcome to the Debian family :)
Highly recommend KDE connect. It’s the number one thing keeping me from experimenting other compositors, I just can’t see myself not having it.
Could you share any particular points that made you switch? I’m currently on Manjaro and I was thinking of switching to Fedora. But now I’ve started hearing good things about Debian…not sure how to proceed!
Please don’t use manjaro: https://manjarno.snorlax.sh/
I recommend endeavoros if you want something arch based.
But debian has a very diffferent usecase from arch, everything is kept up to date in arch, if you need recent versions of things, don’t use debian.
If you want things to not change, like on a server, or a workstation machine where you can’t risk a change breaking something, debian is great!
For gaming, i’d pick arch any day because gaming stuff is chaning so fast. It’s also better for wayland since that’s also changing quickly.
Debian 12 is the best Debian ever made. I overlooked it for decades because it was so painful to use but 12 changed everything. I’m waiting to see it reviewed against LMDE6, because I doubt LMDE6 could be better/faster/lighter.
