I've been using Debian 13, codename Trixie on three of my machines, but only as servers though. However, I just today installed a GUI environment, LXDE to be exact, since it is super light. Anyway, I'm impressed with the speed and stability. However, that is the Debian way in my experience.
Debian 13 review covering installation, features, and performance. See why this Linux distro is a top choice for stability and security.
