For beginners, and rolling distribution. A beginner should start with something that doesn't break while you don't understand if it's your or the shiny new program that broke the system. But then, I have been using Debian for more that 20 years. For me it's a tool, not a game.

Sorry to come so late to the post, but have you checked the logs to see what was going on before the crash?

try journalctl -b -1 -e as it will show the last of the logs of the previous boot.

I use Debian as a desktop both for work and personal use because I am a boring person that doesn't need any surprises. I have been using it since woody after moving from Mandrake Linux
