Hi, Fred Nowadays it makes less and less difference whether you install Debian or any other Linux distribution on a desktop or on a laptop as laptops become more commonplace and desktops use same power-saving techniques as laptops. I'd say you can just try Debian stable and see if everything works the way it should and if some devices aren't working then try Debian testing and see if it makes the difference. If hardware support in Debian testing is not good enough for you you can try installing liquorix kernel from liquorix.net - those kernels may provide support for some additional hardware as well as improve responsiveness of the desktop but they are considered unstable.
