I’m not quite sure how people use Debian on a desktop machine. Do you not fall asleep while you’re using it?

The interesting part of using my computer shouldn't be my OS, but the software I use on it.

That's what Mint is for. It just gets out of my fucking way. Most of the time I'm not aware that I have an OS.

I'm not falling asleep, my laptop is falling asleep.

The problem is that it never wakes up. The solution is to disable every low-power option in system settings, and pretend that my laptop is very critical server, because Debian is made for servers.
