I think I haven't even bothered to change the wallpaper on my newest laptop. There's nothing really special about Debian as well, it could as well be Ubuntu, Mint or anything else that's plug n play. I'm just used to Debian, and it comes with less junk I don't need installed by default.

Debian is my set and forget OS as well.

After running my home servers on it, one release wasn't too far behind to run as a desktop, and I've been happy here ever since.

Xfce desktop, move the panel to the bottom, install applications. Use it for the next days/months/years until I decide to look around again.
