Going to give this a try after I get my Linux box up and running.

This is a winner! Boots much faster than the 20.3 version, Broadcom is detected with no issues versus 20.3 where you have to install the driver. Is fast, clean, easy to update and no issues. You still get all the nice added features like the troubleshooter and kernel installer. Its as close as you8 can get to a mainstream experience with Debian. Id recommend this distro to anyone looking for a stable everyday OS for personal use. Memory usage was also lower than the 20.3 version which surprised me. All hardware seen and I also tried it on my Ryzen system and had no issues.

Ive tried some games, videos, and some apps and so far rock solid. Continues to use less ram than 20.3.
