Thanks for the post, I wanted to try Debian on my main desktop, but alas, couldn't make the wifi dongle work (I found the solution for Mint, so I eventually installed LM), however, I am still eyeing Debian for two things you've mentioned...the philosophy and the stability. As I use my comps to do work, I am not looking for a frequent distro-hopping (how different would using Libre Office would be on an Xth distro, right?), so stability is a main factor. That being said, I am also very satisfied with Mint itself.
So, the update. Yesterday I installed Linux Mint 21.2... I've spent about a good hour solving the problem with wifi, and I can report I found a solution.
However, as my original plan was to install Debian (I have Mint 21.2 Cinammon on my laptop), well...long story short, I am in the middle of installing Debian right now.
I expect a few issues, but it's a challenge, so...let's get ready to rumble!!! :) :)
Thanks for your input! No gaming in mind (at least, nothing massive), mostly just browsing, Libre office, wordpress and social media. Of course, VLC abd maybe a bit coding.
I could go with a single monitor, but got a bit used to dual config.

Why would goregrind be garbage?
