I tried installing/ running Debian Jessie amd64 with the Xfce graphical desktop on a few Sandy Bridge and older computers, but found it wasn't as stable as I desired. Therefore, I am still installing and running Debian Wheezy (now at version 7.10):

This works well on almost all of my machines (my laptop with 945GM
chipset has issues with EDID and external monitors). I would expect
Wheezy also works well on Ivy Bridge. I am unsure about Haswell. I
would not expect everything (notably X Windows) to work on Skylake. If
after installation you find that you have hardware that is newer than
what is supported, you can look for updated drivers on Debian Backports:
