    or if you can't get that to go (i had some hardware support issues) look to MX Linux or Linux Mint XFCE

    yes but Linux Mint XFCE doesn't use all the heavy weight sytems that mean Ubuntu desktop needs 6 GB ram. for that matter, Xubuntu will, too, but fuck canonical.

    however, as much as i loathe canonical i'm not gonna attract people to more secure from bullshit solutions if i'm net willing to meet them where they are. i'd rather we all be on debian however if even i can't get my laptop to work properly with it, i'm gonna direct some people to mint just to get them a little farther afield.
