Debian used to be my favorite until I tried getting ati drivers working on a T60 and after installing per a guide x would fail to load

Should I use it as my main OS on my main machine? (T430)

That's like our 3rd Debian thread. Don't make me start feeling like we're Rust evangelists.

I use it as my main on both a desktop and laptop setup (Debian 8 so that would be Jessie), don't really have any complain as a mathematician/developer, also drivers ended up working fine with dual monitor on an AMD GPU.
That being said if you want to play games, same as ever, avoid Linux unless you want to dual boot.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Hey i am unable to use flashrom when using Debian stretch. I tried the package and build it from source. When running:
>flashrom -p internal -r foo.rom

I get:
>/dev/mem mmap failed: Operation not permitted

It works in Debian stable if I build it from source, but doesn't work with the package because my laptop isn't supported in this particular version.

Debian has been NSA/systemd'd.


You should migrate your existing installation to Devuan ASAP.
