It is a fairly elderly thinkpad (X61s) and I am running the mate
desktop. Jessie was just fine and I don't usually upgrade until a new
version has been in 'stable' for several months, having said that my
main desktop system has been running 'sid' since I set it up quite a few
years ago and I am quite happy with it, it gets a daily dose of
update/upgrade and I have rarely had a problem that wasn't fixed
within days.
However my VPS will not get upgraded until several months after stretch
is released.
