What? I've been running Debian for more than a decade by now.

Through multiple releases without re-install. Moved from PC to PC to PC. Not ideal, but it works.

Different desktop environments. File management, web surfing, playing movies using dozens audio/video codecs, gaming (also some native Windows ones), electronics / programmable logic design (Xilinx ISE) & more, all on the same system no VM stuff.

And you can't rename a single file?

I lost one of my arms in the war, and having to take my hand off of the mouse in order to perform a task like renaming breaks my workflow. I'm sorry if that bothers you.
