Since I'm mostly using Linux as a server OS I decided to ditch Ubuntu LTS and go straight to Debian. Why go with a middleman if I can just use the original distro?

Ubuntu does have some advantages over Debian (Stable vs LTS) on the server IMO:

Packages are generally a bit newer vs. Debian

They release newer kernels throughout the release

A defined 2 year release cycle

Generally better supported by 3rd parties

Support available if needed (I've never used it but some businesses won't buy anything without support)

Debian works fine on my 2016 XPS 13 and my 2012 x230.

To be honest all Ubuntu would give me these days is a preconfigured DE, but XFCE default on Debian works fine for me.

Also, now I run the same distro on my Dev box as in production ;)
