I think one helpful trick when thinking about AI hype is to replace mentions of "AI" with "Blockchain" to see how silly it all sounds.

Yeah. Debian it is.

Goodbye Ubuntu. It's been a good run. 2004-2025.

All the announcements about the AI from the linux distribution maintainers should be read as "We're going to fix some of the things that should've worked in the past but didn't"

Debian for servers, LMDE for desktop/laptop

I'm currently thinking about switching to MX Linux, which is basically Debian (even with the official Debian repositories) in a modern KDE theme and some cool additional software (from an own separate repository).

The only gripe I had with it so far is that it doesn't come with apparmor enabled by default, which can easily be manually installed.

I recently put Debian KDE on a gifted Windows 11 Lenovo tablet that's quite underpowered. It's pretty nice. MX is tempting, though.

That's what I intend to do.
