Reasons to use Debian. So here I am back on Debian, and this time with the KDE Plasma desktop. Not only do I run Debian for my servers, but also for my personal computer too! Unlike before on the other distributions I was trying out, I'm not using as many flatpak applications this time since it's a gosh darn storage hog, and because I ran into issues with Firefox as a Flatpak since the containerization format doesn't support mDNS; it made for a perplexing case seeing that I could connect to my NAS servers web interface from Pale Moon, but not Firefox... I also didn't like how Thunderbird's profile sources are linked to a fake /run/ path that doesn't actually exist on the host; it's lead to a number of issues for me in how I sync my POP mailboxes. Just keep it minimal. I'm also using Deja dup for user data backups since it's an all around better backup solution with support for network shares as a backup destination. I still don't like the built-in backup service that comes with KDE…
