I started on Debian with XFCE. I figured if there were so many distros based on Debian, then I might as well just use that so I’d be able to configure things myself and learn more about how the OS works.

Anyway, you know the section in the Debian wiki called DontBreakDebian? I did not follow that advice. It went poorly. I’ve since learned from my (many) mistakes and have been running Fedora KDE for a while now.

I use Firefox + uBlock Origin on Android. You can still install add-ons for the app the same way you do on desktop.

It’s a KDE widget called global menu, but I believe there’s also a GNOME extension that will do the same thing.

Debian with KDE. I’ve had this set up on my laptop for a few weeks to see how well Debian stable would work as a daily driver with Flatpaks and/or Nix packages mixed in. I’m really liking it so far, so I’ll probably migrate my desktop over to a pretty similar set up soon. Right now it looks pretty similar visually, but is running Fedora 39.
