   I think I'm going to try to install Debian again. I've learned about the non-free repos!

   Still have to kind of muddle through using grub though because for some reason my computer boots to grub when using the debian install usb image so that's not fun. Idk what i'm doing!

     @pseudoramble I'm still pretty new to Linux and have only ever used pop os. Attracted to what I understand their philosophy to be. Prime movers so just want to be closer to the source.

     Plus if it doesn't meet all my needs then I'll try something else and will have the experience of having used debian as a daily driver.

     @obsolete29 nice! Why did you land on Debian by the way?

     @obsolete29 I haven't used it in an extremely long time, but if I recall correctly I think it's pretty straightforward to use.

     @obsolete29 that's cool, makes sense. Many moons ago I used to distro hop all the time. I've probably tried like two dozen.

     Funny enough, at this point all I use is pop and Ubuntu because of laziness and lack of time.
