This mirrors my experience. I would love to put Debian back on the
laptops, but it has proven to be so much work to do so in the past and,
while intellectually challenging to rise to the task, I'd rather be
doing more productive things with my time. So, for now, Kubuntu lives on
the laptops and desktops and Debian on servers.
