Either way, it's a lot of fun to do things without being scene and
especially to hack devices near people who are in my way to either
distract or incapacitate them. As in real life, I wouldn't necessarily
want to kill my enemies to get to my objective, so I try to be as
realistic as possible. Besides, if I wanted a game where shooting things
is the only goal, I'd have gotten something like Call of Duty.
We can't all be as good as you, Fabian.

Yes.
Do I care what others may think of such presumed arrogance?
No.

Larry is the sorriest excuse for a big shot, in COLA, that could be fathomed. He thinks Debian is too much like Windows, essentially, and
he's obsessed with his own thing being the right thing, like a kid. He
may do some intriguing things with his computers, but the way he
preaches against using distros is retarded.

I recently switched to pure Debian with Cinnamon, so I guess it's not THAT pure,
but it runs flawlessly and despite some odd quirks like users not being added to the sudo group by default, it's by far the best recent distribution I have run.
I've run Debian based distributions like MXLinux and while they do make some things easier, I find pure Debian to be better in terms of repositories and up to date
packages without a lot of duplication and fluff. Plus when looking online for
help it's a lot easier to find for pure Debian than the variants, except of course
for Ubuntu.
The best thing about Linux is that there is literally something for everyone. Make it your own. It's actually fun!
However, never minimize the fact that the need for certain applications is what
drives most people to Windows, Mac or Linux and that is how it should be.

Debian Cinnamon is what I use. It's where the state of the art is, from
my perspective, the distro that targets common sense.

If you sat in front of a strange computer could you tell if from Linux
Mint Cinnamon (without running neofetch)?

I don't follow the question.

I think we've been down this road before but... Cinnamon is a DE that is available for many distros. What makes Debian Cinnamon different from,
say, the Fedora Cinnamon spin? Just looking at the UI, could you tell the underlying distro?
I use Debian on my work production machine precisely because it is not
state of the art. Unless you're using Sid it's arguably the most slow
moving, conservative distro out there that has any name recognition.
pacman pulled down the 6.18.1 kernel today. That's bleeding edge with a little of the blood wiped off. What is your Debian system using? I'm not saying the latest kernel makes any difference in my life but it's where
the 'state of the art' is.

Is Pure Debian based on Debian 13? If so it doesn't like my old Trelby application. Trelby installs, I can type a few lines, but the first time I try to use the arrow keys, it locks the keyboard for that application. Currently I'm blaming Rust, but I really have no idea why this is happening. It's consistent, though. LMDE 7 uses Debian 13, as does Ubuntu 25.10 and I tried several different desktops with Debian itself. All of them had the same issue. It's not Wayland because it does the same thing on Xorg. Something to do with the keyboard mapping (Trelby is a Python-based application.)

Say the ones who are so deep into an abusive, exploitative
relationship with a vast, faceless, soulless, amoral, profit-driven
megacorp that they get seriously butthurt when you point out that they
are being taken for a ride.
