       I dread to ask, but I'm moving back to Linux on a laptop with a new Thinkpad T14... But which distro? I want debian based, but should I just use debian?Usage is web, meet, zoom, teams, onstage presentations, obs, travel stuff. Some dev work and local AI.It's highly subjective... But what would you pick and why?

       @deeMy workstations use Debian but I switched my laptop to NixOS and been very happy with that choice, especially as the maintenance overhead has basically disappeared.

       @dee @AlisonW hi hello i use NixOS for everything except my phone (though that's also doable) and i love it. don't think i'd want to go back to using a computer any other way. i used Arch Linux before, which feels like debian but rolling release for reference

       @alina @AlisonW my hesitation to nixos is that work policy gives me 9 days to use a newer version of chrome or Firefox once an update is available. Otherwise I'm locked out. I basically need to know the latency of updates to have confidence

       @alina @crystallinefire @AlisonW I suspect a lot of spelunking through your config to try and understand things... but this looks like what I want to try.
