I will say, in my experience, the “stability” boost that Debain has over other distros very rarely shows itself for a normal desktop user. It’s more for mission-critical/long-term business calculations where that stability makes a difference. Ubuntu LTS is incredibly “stable” for most desktop users, in that it will do what you want it to without fail, and will have safe, up-to-date programs (that last part is not always the case for Debian).

Hey don’t knock the value of creating a vibe for your desk with knick-knacks and deco. It can make it much more pleasant to sit at your desk if you’re there all the time.
