i love debian
it's fully capable, well-established, exceptionally stable operating system which performs all of the operations you require of it, and does so while leaving a fairly small footprint
it's boring, rock stable, won't break, won't send you those annoying fedora "shit broke, please send bug report"
it's ideal for your workstation (if you value your workstation)
targets multiple arch/kernels, so you don't have to re-learn everything, no matter what you're using. you can use it with hurd or with kBSD. you can install debian even on a potato and you can run the debian gnu/linux on desktop, vm, servers, raspery pi, obscure architectures, mobile phones
good ideology release and sane repository management
they actually care about freedom
good support, friendly community. you get support from the ubuntu forums as well, which are huge, they have one of the biggest stack exchange sites.
it uses apt, which does packaging very good. it has >60k packages. it packages compiled libraries as *-dev so you can only install the minimum required, like headers, pkgconfiles and other files. it doesn't bloat your system. it does caching while doing apt update. it's much much faster than dnf, yum or zypper. it has transitional packages, so a script i run on debian 15 years ago still works today. it actually fails if you put a non-existent package in the parameter list

Thanks but I'm sticking with GNU/Fedora
based, Debian is very comfy and just works
Yeah I'm not gonna read all that shit man. I like Debian too but no operating system is good enough to go out of your way to shill.
Debian GNU/Linux, XFCE, GNU Emacs, Librewolf.
Peak comfy.
Just do a minimal Ubuntu install. Everything works out of the box, snapd is easily purged, nala is a great apt frontend, GNOME rocks. Debian is great, the perfect foundation and great for server use, but Ubuntu is the full desktop experience.
>snapd is easily purged
Too bad Canonical is straight up removing the apt versions of certain softwares in favor of snap versions so they'll be unavailable if you purge Snapd.
Its glibc drama and we're talking about debian stable, not sid.
>shit breaks as it updates
>stay comfy on ypur bullseye
Archfags will never understand.
>systemd

>it uses apt, which does packaging very good
I agree with everything you said, except this part. Fuck apt. Every now and then, it tries to uninstall my whole system because I want to remove a single, unrelated package.
Besides that Debian IS based.
Like what? First I've heard of this.
My rtx3080 didn't work with the Nvidia drivers they have
I had to manually install the one from their site. My understanding is this is considered "bad practice"
But I guess you gotta do what you gotta do.
Do you mean the thing with systemd-resolved ?
That can't be right.
glibc 2.34 only just went into sid.
The DT_GNU_HASH drama is centered on 2.36.
Im gonna Debin but System:D
all the systemd drama (especially this week) has put me off too... I'm gonna give devuan a try.
Spreading awareness of Devuan here.
learn how to mark/unmark packages auto and manual, learn what metapackages are
>Debian
lol
literally don't care. if the trannies write good software i will use it for free.
don't care if the dev was hitler or jesus himself
Fair enough, for me I don't like associating with faggots or knowingly using their material. I avoid it when possible.
