   Hello!   
      
   I just want to express why I switched my main desktop machine to Debian   
   yesterday.   
      
   I started using Ubuntu 14.04 the first time in sept 2015 on a ZBook 15   
   laptop. I was 14 at that time and I had enough from Windows.   
      
   In 2017 switched from my shuttle SK22G2 with Vista to an HP Compaq   
   DC7100. It had an Intel i915G chipset and it wasn't supported by   
   Windows 7, so I installed Lubuntu.   
      
   I replaced that machine and currently it is a Ryzen.   
      
   I had Ubuntu on it, but with a different desktop environment. First   
   LXDE, then mwm.   
   In 2018 I got a Dell Latitude D600 with Pentium M. Ubuntu discontinued   
   i686 support, so I switched to Debian in 2019. That was the first   
   Debian installation.   
   I got a Thinkpad X40 in 2022, I also use Debian on it. In 2022 I   
   switched from a laptop to a desktop at work and installed Debian.   
      
   Yesterday X11 was broken. This was the situation where I installed   
   Debian on my Ryzen machine.   
      
   Now the remaining Ubuntu systems are on Raspberry Pi and one desktop   
   computer (the DC7100 is now in use again).   
      
   Why did I replaced Ubuntu?   
   They discontinued i686 support, so I had to switch some machines.   
      
   The main reason is that I don't like the changes Canonical did in the   
   past years.   
      
   Things like snap are annoying, especially if they try to enforce users   
   to use it (e.g. for Firefox and Chromium). I am aware that I can use   
   3rd party repos, but I see no reason for staying on Ubuntu.   
      
   Another advantage of Debian is that there exists sid as a   
   rolling-release, although it might be a bit unstable.
