So a while back I threw Ubuntu 22 LTS on an old Surface Pro 3 and gave it to my Dad.

He loves it, but he’s the type who’s been burnt by updating software in the past, so he basically refuses any whenever prompted.

Been thinking about throwing Debian with Gnome on it for a while, and wondering if it’s stable enough to just let updates happen automatically in the background?

I got no experience with Debian I basically jumped right on EndeavourOS as my main distro when I started using Linux full time.

    I honestly forgot Debian had a none stable version.

    He’s not too picky with web browsers as long as it…well browses the web.

    I’ll give it a go and hopefully get 4 years away from being tech support. Thanks!

      All distros have a non-stable version.
      Some have a stable version, too.
