Debian is by far my favorite linux distribution, but it's not without its faults.

Debian tends to soft- and hard-hijack package names. Normally, having a maintainer between upstream and users is a good thing. What's not a good thing is them misrepresenting modified upstream software to users. This can mislead users (See ffmpeg, keepassxc). Fortunately, the mozilla approach of using trademark law to stop others from misrepresenting software is effective here.

Debian also doesn't offer a clear lifecycle schedule like ubuntu and other enterprisy distros. This makes it hard to plan ahead long term and forces admins to manually check support status.

Debian stable is released roughly every 2 years. Once a release becomes oldstable, it gets LTS [0] support for at least 5 years, and Extended LTS [1] for another 5.

I think Debian is one of the easiest distros to plan ahead for.

Just an FYI for those reading. I had no idea what the keepassxc thing is about - apparently the debian version doesn't have a bunch of functionality that the original version has, and this was the maintainer's decision.

I can't take anyone seriously who tries to frame the keepassxc packaging correction as "hijacking".
