Nice, hope it works well for you. I just did the same transition, albeit through spiral linux.
hopefully I will ride this install out for the next 3-5 years
Yeah I'm liking it. Really good stability, not many updates and gaming fps works like it's supposed to. I can just turn down every driver upgrade from now on.
My only gripe is minor..
I went with the separate home partition. Then I resized it to create 200 mb for a backup ext 4 folder for timeshift to work.
It's working just fine but it's not working pretty.. like I don't have them showing as /, /home and /backup LOL
I added mount points to the other drives but I'm not keen to mess up the linux drive.
But if someone knows how to use editor to change that.. please let me know!
And btw debian has a 2 year update cycle.. so they'll come out with debian 14 in 2 years or so. But yes you can of course extend it's use. Think you get 3 years worth of security updates.
