Debian is a large, complex operating system, and a huge open source project. It’s thirty years old now. To many people, some of its aspects are weird. Most such things have a good reason, but it can be hard to find out what it is. This is an attempt to answer some such questions, without being a detailed history of the project.

    Debian is the most stable and usable distro I have ever used on a desktop. I have tried many distros in my life, Debian is the one that’s been satisfying me the most so far.

      Great! I use Debian for all my server VMs. I’m not saying it’s bad or anything and I definitely think it’s worth a shot once the user enters the distro hopping phase.
