    My typical Linux installation workflow:

    1. Attempt to install Debian.
    2. It doesn’t work because the kernel is too old to support my new hardware (even though it’s not always that new).
    3. Rather than trying to fix it, just install Kubuntu instead.

    Failing to have graphics drivers for my gaming PC with a GPU I bought the day it launched is one thing, but Debian also failed to have WiFi drivers for the cheap N100 NUCs I bought for my kids the other day – with wifi hardware that’d been out for multiple years at this point – and that’s just ridiculous.

    Kubuntu annoys me with Snaps, but it also Just Works in a way Debian unfortunately doesn’t.
