Hi, I'm going to buy a Dell Precision 3570 laptop in the next couple of weeks. Since it's a Build Your Own device, I can order it with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS pre- installed instead of paying for an never used Win 11 :-)
Since all our other computers are happily running Debian, I'd like to replace this Ubuntu by Debian Testing (later Bookworm). I've already decided to run it on a single btrfs partition and learn something about subvolumes... I assume the machine should work well - but who knows? How would you proceed? a) leave it running Ubuntu forever b) replace Ubuntu by Debian, fiddling around issues if there are any later c) resize the partition, install Debian side-by-side, check than if anything works as expected d) analyze the installed system (how?) to find out any special configs etc. before replacing Ubuntu by Debian e) other... Thank you for your ideas. Have a nice day, Bernd PS: Please cc me, since I'm not regularly subscribed to the list
