    Wow awesome post, you are clearly much more up to date than I am.

    Is it true that Bookworm contains non free software in the default release? If so this is sad to hear.

    Ive been in the Debian camp for a while now with Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, Raspbian etc. and I suffer with systemd maybe I made the wrong choice.

    Since you seem very knowledgable I have a question. Why do so many, almost all distros use GNOME rather than KDE as their default DE? KDE has been around a long time, they are free and not heavily corporately sponsored and their product is at least equal or perhaps even better than GNOME. I never understood this.

      IBM/RH have been a major contributor to Gnome for over a decade. Yamakuzure, Dantrell, Gentoo, Drobbins and others have helped ensure it remains portable.

      My preference is i3/dwm ,or if pushed lxqt or xfce4.

      I don’t know much about KDE at all.

      Non-free firmware, not software. Wi-Fi firmware, GPU firmware, CPU microcode, that sort of thing. Made unfortunately necessary by modern hardware.

      I suffer with systemd

      What’s the problem?
