I installed Debian on a laptop! It's my first time trying Debian, and I think I like it. I've still got a lot to learn, and there's a lot less help out there for Debian than there is for a distro like Ubuntu (although probably a lot of crossover). But I'm having fun!
Nice! I remember the days switching from Windows to Linux, it was all blur to me but over the years it was best I've ever done. Now I am on Mac so I get both worlds (am not a gamer, so Its perfect)
Do you intend to use it as your daily driver? Are there any significant difference that you immediately noticed? The thought of switching to a more "barebone" distro has always intrigued me, but I never seem to rationalize it as I rest firmly with the comfort of distros like Mint/*buntu/Fedora.

I'm not sure. I think I like my Macbook too much for that (apps like Spark, Alfred, and iTerm), all the multi-touch stuff, and how it ties into my phone. I'll probably use the Linux laptop for coding, server management, and a light-carry, travel laptop.
That being said, the laptop I installed it on was 150 bucks and isn't super powerful, but Debian still runs like a champ. I really enjoy how barebones it is because it lets me figure out what's added in Ubuntu and what's part of a more basic setup. When I first opened it up, I had to install sudo, and that made me giggle a little bit. I think I may end up going back to a more comfortable distro eventually, but, right now, this is a great learning experience!
