Its my main workstation and it's pure debian: everything you need, and it just works.

Using an amdgpu and it was probably the easiest install I've ever done. No snap bullshit either, kde came up first go.

Debian is taking the unique approach of "not shooting themselves in the dick by trying to push features everybody hates".

Debian sid(testing) is better for regular desktop usage because of security patches and bug fixes but debian stable is good for servers

Debian sid works for both servers & workstations??

Good breakdown. I might end up using it on my next desktop

Fedora is also worth a look, Debian was my first distro so I always appreciate keeping up with it. But Fedora is SUPER stable and also a top option for privacy and security, so I switched over.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
