Debian 13
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- I have the same specs as OP in my ThinkPad running Debian 13 and it runs very well.
- If you want stability Debian 13 is the best, no risky updates, it runs practically everything. ... No distro I've tried is as stable as Debian.
- I have Debian 13 installed and mostly optimized; boots in 11.5 seconds.
- personally I’ve been running Debian 13 with xfce and it’s been extremely solid
- CachyOS or Debian 13
Cons
- I think debian 13 dropped support for 32-bit cpu's iirc...
- debian 13
- Now on Debian 13 and there is no even reboot command out of the box. I like Konsole! and Kate! But miss quality of life (like reboot), normal CUDA, and themes.
