Best OS if you are looking for a friendly Linux with minimum hassle!

  • June 02, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Package Management - This is by far the best thing about Debian. It uses the APT (Advanced Package Tool) package manager, which simplifies software installation, updates, and dependency management. The vast Debian repositories offer a wide range of software packages.

Flexibility - It offers different flavors to cater to various needs due to its ease of implementation. Whether you're looking for a lightweight system (like Debian Minimal) or a specialized distribution (like Debian Edu or Debian GIS), there is likely a Debian variant suited to your requirements.

Integration - Due to its well built infrastructure, the most popular Linux OS called Ubuntu is based on it!

Community - It has a large and active community of users and developers. This means ample customer support through forums, mailing lists, and extensive documentation.

Usage Frequency - It is found on a vast majority of servers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Limited Official Support for Non-Free Software - It strictly adheres to free software principles, which means it has limited official support for proprietary or non-free software.

Slower Release Cycle - While the stability of Debian is a strength, its slower release cycle means users may have to wait longer for new features or software updates compared to distributions with more frequent releases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Debian ensures I have a stable and secure platform for my local wireless network monitoring tasks due its ready to go drivers available to provide me low level hardware access. Its reliability, security features, flexibility, and broad hardware compatibility allow me to run monitoring tasks smoothly, customize my setup as needed, and ensure compatibility with my network hardware, enabling seamless use of tools like Wireshark and others.

What do you like best about the product?
I have been using Debian desktop and server for a while, I have used aarch ARM64 version on embedded devices as well.

my experience with Debian against other well-known distros was quite satisfactory and comes with all the development tools needed for, neved any issue with package updates.

One notable advnatage of Debian is its integration with Yocto which is now widely uses in many embedded communities and it's quite straightforward to customize the dirsto based on the hardware requirements.

It's one of the best distro to use as a general purpose activity or even development enviroment quite easy and straightforward installation too.

Although Debian supports lots of desktop environments, sometimes I found it more difficult to deal with remote connections using XFCE or Gnome using Debian. however other distro can handle this more efficiently.

Stable and secure foundation of a Computer needs

  • September 11, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The outstanding and reliable position of Debian is exceptional. For computing needs, whether for personal desktop or critical server environments, Debian provides a rock-solid foundation.One can rely on Debian to do the job without a doubt thanks to its testing it succeeds because of his dedication to free and open source software.
What do you dislike about the product?
Its conservative release cycle is one aspect of Debian that I find most undesirable. Although balance is undoubtedly a good thing, it could occasionally mean that software programmes in Debian repositories are not the most recent versions. This can be a problem if you need new software or advanced features for a particular project. It is crucial to note that Debian's static nature is well-known and properly satisfies the needs of many users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
By offering outstanding stability and dependability, Debian addresses a major issue in the field of operating systems. Servers and other essential systems are especially in need of this benefit since unanticipated problems and downtime can be expensive and disruptive. Debian's dedication to open-source ideas and thorough testing offer a trustworthy and safe computing environment.
