So, not so long ago I have made a switch from Win 10 to Linux Mint on my older laptop. I like it, and I have decided to switch to Linux also on my main desktop (to be honest, I've realized I don't actually do anything Windows-specific I can't do on Linux). I am thinking of trying Debian. I know it's not the best for total newbies, but I am willing to commit time to learn a thing or two to make it work to my needs (which are not many). I am just worried - would I be able to setup up my two monitors to work? From what I read, it's not that easy, so that worries me a bit (although, it's nothing which would stop me from the switch). Can anyone provide an opinion about it, please? Many thanks in advance.

So, the update. Yesterday I installed Linux Mint 21.2... I've spent about a good hour solving the problem with wifi, and I can report I found a solution. However, as my original plan was to install Debian (I have Mint 21.2 Cinammon on my laptop), well...long story short, I am in the middle of installing Debian right now. I expect a few issues, but it's a challenge, so...let's get ready to rumble!!! :) :)
