18.04 is stable. Feel free to go ahead and grab a copy. PPA's are also up to speed. If you want to hop on board a rolling release, firmware-buster-DI-alpha3-amd64-DVD-1.iso will give you a fully working debian testing install with closed source drivers. (Weekly builds are known to fail from time to time) Then, pair that with a sources.list generator: https://debgen.simplylinux.ch/ https://debgen.simplylinux.ch/ And one more ingredient: if you use gnome 3, you may have to copy a file to get gnome extension installation via chrome working. Copy the contents of /etc/chromium/native-messaging-hosts/ to /etc/opt/chrome/native-messaging-hosts/. A bit off topic: for gnome 3 extensions, this has been indispensable: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/723/pixel-saver/ https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/723/pixel-saver/ For tiling window managers, I recommend i3: https://i3wm.org/ https://i3wm.org/
