  While I prefer how easy they are to use, the debian ones tend to upgrade at a
bad time and in the process change something that makes my laptop un bootable.

  So far this has been the longest I've been able to keep a linux distro

  I have a 7" touchscreen USB plugged into the main windows computer, I only
use it for displaying logs for a few things so I can see what's going on in
