I grieved when I bought a used laptop with Windows pre-installed. I immediately performed a ritual of Debian purification.
Windows, or any other corporate MICROS~1 product dying is a cause for celebration.
LOL
I'm old enough to understand this reference.
He got that off his XP machine he was talking about! 😂
I’m not quite sure how people use Debian on a desktop machine. Do you not fall asleep while you’re using it?
I'm not falling asleep, my laptop is falling asleep.
The problem is that it never wakes up. The solution is to disable every low-power option in system settings, and pretend that my laptop is very critical server, because Debian is made for servers.
I like buttered toast
Every single morning!
The interesting part of using my computer shouldn't be my OS, but the software I use on it.

Did the system requirements screen at least warn you that you need wholly unrelated 3rd party software for it? Its like if I was trying to load up QuickBooks and it was like "Please insert slice of aged cheddar into drive A: to proceed."
I realize its not a perfect analogy-- lots of people like aged cheddar.
