Right?! I’ve just assumed the GNU/Linux nitpick to be a meme at this point. An old and tired one at that…

I’ve done this with debian in the past, you just install different DE in parallel. Works well enough, don’t remember it causing any issues. It just makes a mess of your home folder, so I don’t do it outside of testing purposes.

Thanks, I hate it!

I sure hope so . I have a new XPS 13 9315 on the way!

I’ve been running a 2019 XPS 13 on Debian without any major issues, just sleep that has high battery drain. But I think that’s a common issue.
