Gimme a K!
When I got off of Mint earlier this year, I switched to Debian. Well, having been through Cinnamon and MATE, I have given up on a desktop ever integrating very well with this fundamental server OS.

It's "early days" yet, but I have to say, so far, so good. More on this in days to come, because you know I can't resist.
Try a new OS for the holidays!
