This can sometimes be easy and sometimes be a nuisance.

I have a brief section on HDMI and sound. I didn't test in KDE, but it
worked for me with a few different systems

HDMI works perfectly with Windows. Most of my media is stored on Linux so I would prefer to keep the Linux partition as my primary OS. However as a media streaming device it fails.

Probably will stick with LTS or rolling release since I want low maintenance. I have some proprietary drivers that will not work with Debian and do not want to go through hassles with enabling them (my Ethernet card would not work last time I used Debian and I could not get the drivers without the card. Catch 22. I am distro neutral and have used most major distros of all persuasions.
