Hey all,

I used to use Debian and then Ubuntu about 8-9 years ago.

I got super comfy with my Mac and just throwing GNU tools on it along with some other stuff to make a little more "Linux Like".

However, OSX is a drug and apple is the pusher. You have no real control of anything. As Steve Jobs famously tried to claim it was a "closed system". They abuse the users as much as they want, and the user just has to take it if they want to keep their supply.

So, I've been trying to go back to Debian, and I'm starting to remember how much I hated the terminal. I know there are 100+ terminal emulators.

However, what is the most comfy one that requires the least config? Like just have meta + t open a new tab? Or maybe no meta + shift + v to paste into a terminal?

The direction I'm headed in is Debian + MATE

Any general advice on what direction to go if you're not wanting a strait "all in one" Ubuntu type install, but still want some solid usability? i.e. tool bars, base os, desktop environment etc..

I know there are a 1,000 possibilities, but think trying to make something as comfy as a Mac but it is Linux.
