My workstation and laptop are both libreboot'd and running Debian XFCE/i3wm. I am also enthusiastic about Trisquel, but prefer to use Debian.

#16debian stretch / i3wm
The first linux distro I used was slackware (I don't recall the version, but I think the kernel was 1.1.59). I switched to redhat as it was easier to install new packages. I switched to debian after renting my first dedicated server: the smart people at the hosting company used debian and I figured there must be a good reason.

#19opeSUSE Leap with i3wm on my main laptop, Debian Stretch with exwm on my old netbook - but I'm looking to replace SUSE with Debian on my laptop, too.
I'll do it as soon as I'll have found all the files I actually want to keep. Any day now.
