| > That may have been a hot take on my part, but what makes Debian worthwhile over Ubuntu aside from ideology? I think they're very close these days but to me: Stability, I say this using Ubuntu 22.04 but to say Debian 'sucks' is a big stretch given how similar they are now Windows 10 to Windows 11 is a disaster, nobody wants it, it's forced on most people, at my workplace people are avoiding it, Debian on the other hand has been mostly smooth sailing for like 10 years now >Anything other than Ubuntu and Mint requires involvement with 3rd-party repos for comparable multimedia playback Don't most people use Youtube and Spotify etc these days? If someone wants to break out the Mp3's they just install VLC. > I remember years ago Debian having some confusion with different images and firmware You'll be happy to know this is fixed, Debian's latest release now includes non-free firmware in the installer: https://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/News/2023/2023... Starting with this release, official images include firmware packages from main and non-free-firmware, along with metadata to configure the installed system accordingly. Our installation guide has been updated accordingly. --- Debian 12 or Ubuntu 22.04 you can't really go wrong imo There's some other stuff I want to say but I must sleep! thanks! |
