Just a question:
Debian is a relationship to Ubuntu.
Is it easy to use Debian for a beginner.
I was looking for a "small" system, so I tried Lubuntu and Xubuntu
because both look better for me then Ubuntu.
But Lubutu crashed during install so I am using Xubuntu.


As with most things ridiculous, there are about 20 different ways to do
that. But when that sort of lunacy hits three systems for friends/family
that I "support" and generates many hours of work amongst uncountable
swears of profanity... I tend to hold a grudge.

I try to do not destroy the system.
I want to to it simple.
I prefer to learn the terminal.

going to update it anymore. Everything works fine as far as I'm concerned.
No change would be for the better.

How about the duty to update Linux?

Example:
I tried to install VLC.
Crash.
I did update and then I could install VLC.
