Never cared at all for Ubuntu from the very first time I did a test
install 10+ years ago?  Never understood why it's so popular.  Still
don't. Enough said.

I abandoned the desktop environment a half-dozen years ago in favor of
just a window manager and a single panel with menus, etc.  KISS  Right
now I'm looking at Debian-based distros -- AntiX and MX-Linux, a couple
others -- as well as a couple non-Debian ones, while avoiding rolling
releases.  Unfortunately, the more I look, the more it looks like I'm
going to have to go with a Basic Install of Stretch, de-systemd it,
replace with another init, etc.  A lot of work, but that's how it goes.

Thanks for your suggestions.
