do a bad thing

get caught

oops, it was just an error

It’s fine when we do it!

Why not just Debian? Unless you need very up-to-date software, it will work fine. You can throw XFCE if you’re on an old hardware. I put Debian on my 2017 laptop and I usually have about 30 days of uptime before rebooting (just for a bit of “computer hygiene” since it could probably just run forever without issues if I didn’t reboot).
