Same for me, XFCE is light, stable and efficient. I believe that's the reason it's chosen for Debian as default DE
According to their Wiki, other Distros (including DE) are not supported/documented and if you do it's at your own risk. Personally, I wouldn't dare trying that.
Dell provides XPS laptop with Ubuntu on it. It works great and Ubuntu can be replaced with other distro ( I did successfully tested Mint and now Debian 11)
Own server but with very few things running on it...
Wow, great... Didn't know about needrestart
Works OK but makes your connection slow as hell... Not really useful for daily usage.
I don't think so, mostly it's hardening, and few security related software, all FOSS
But you'll need much more RAM, 8 GB is a bare minimum...
The kicksecure documentation is well written. Go here for distro-morphing of Debian 12, step by step things to do are pretty explicit and you can even copy the command lines if you think you'll make a mistake...
You have a link?
