      Is debian a good choice for new users? I know it’s used as a base for a lot of distros. But I’ve never used it. I assumed it was more technical and less user friendly.

        Unless you have the latest, newest hardware, most things should work out of the box

        Worst case scenario you may have to edit one file in /etc/apt/sources.list to enable some drivers and firmware

        Dont let the internet scare you with stories about how only L337 hax0rs can use debian. Its really easy

      Using a distro that isn’t a rolling release for a desktop is absolutely stupid
