#Debian gnulinux drivers#

When the OS kernel for the Distro is compiled the person selects all the drivers you are likely to need such that are built in (1000's of them in a config file). It is not like Windows where you can get different drivers for the same hardware. They all use the same repositories for the store of programmes. With any Ubuntu you can convert them into other 'flavours' if you add or subtract programmes.

Since you only want to use the software and want the minimum of hassle then use a LTS of Ubuntu Studio. Linux Mint uses its own, Ubuntu and Debian repositories but has the added advantages that it has the unfree codecs for some videos built in. Both work extremely well and are stable, as far as I can see. I use Ubuntu and Mint for Media Servers without any particular issues. One of the key differences between the two is that Ubuntu works on a 6 month cycle whilst Debian only releases when it is ready. Ubuntu is very stable but is not as rigorous in waiting for the proof that the programmes are as stable as Debian is and Ubuntu happily uses Debian programmes. However, to use Arch, itself, you need to have a level of expertise much better than you need for Ubuntu and it needs a dedication to get into it and I think that it is not for you. Manjaro is based on and compatible to Arch. I already lost a lot of time configuring another distro. I just don't want to repeat installs and changes, over and over.

About Debianĭebian is a volunteer project that has developed and maintained a GNU/Linux operating system for well over a decade. Ubuntu has a distinctive user interface, a separate developer community (though many developers participate in both projects) and a different release process. Ubuntu builds on the Debian architecture and infrastructure and collaborates widely with Debian developers, but there are important differences.
