Installation and Distro recommendations

I do not know if you already check it out, there are Debian based distros such as LMDE and MXLinux.
My husband is using MX over one year and he claims that it is the most stable OS he used. I suspect it is party due to the old stable 4 series kernel.

We are currently having a lots of issue on this forum regarding the latest kernel update to 5.11.0-34 (a.k.a. Kernel from Hell).
