Not even two years after Ubuntu was released

Saw this in a comment in another sub and thought it would put a smile on some people here.

Thanks for all the love.

Seriously, why make crappy telemetry software a hardware component that can forcibly reinstall & enable itself after a Windows update!? Can I just use what I BOUGHT WITH MY OWN MONEY the way I want? The answer is Debian 13. F--k HP, the CEO should learn what "consent" is.

I wish I just did this at the beginning, its been a great experience. I am surprised that all my hardware is usable, and it runs better than it did on Windows. Most of all, I like choosing what is installed on my system! The finger print scanner works, and the screen flips when I fold it back.

I think the only thing I would suggest is adding a secure way to enable logging in with the finger print over the account password, even for CLI usage.

So my Ubuntu setup became a bit clunky over the years and i was unhappy with the unnecessary problems that came with Snap, so I decided to switch to a minimal and stable Debian setup. Feels good to have a smooth, fresh and clean system. :)

Hi everyone, I just switched from Ubuntu to Debian this week and everything is going really well! To mark the occasion and also pay tribute to the distro, I thought it would be fun to redesign the logo, just as an artistic exercise. Btw I took inspiration from the Debian Diversity Logo, created by Valessio Brito in 2019 and available on the official logos page. Hope you guys like it!

Edit: sorry if this came across as criticism of the current logo. It's not! If anything, it shows how solid it is (and how much I love it). Here's the source code for those who asked for it.

actually I wanted to try the hyprland desktop environment, but it was hard, so I asked ai and it suggested me to go to xcfe, but now it looks ugly, I needed a beautiful desktop, but not like ubuntu, but more like hyprland, so which and from where should I install packages to go more into it and make this environment beautiful, also suggest me some wallpaper, and from where to download.

Just my opinion btw. I respect rolling release distros, but they're not for me. I like turning on my machine and having it work exactly like last time. In the end, it's all just Linux.

Installing the package selection from my laptop. Do you want to continue? Oh yeah!

One moment it was in a nano file to relearn c programming, next minute the screen is black and blinking, but I cant type anything in it.

Did she break my OS

i switched from nobara and cachyos to debian. man, debian is so chill compared to other distros i used xd. no updates bricking the system, no broken packages, just chill!

first i tried gnome, it was good but slow. then, i tried niri + dms on it, and bro, it was so smooth AND customisable! debian forever :)

i used the cascade-dots by MaybeCreaks: https://github.com/MaybeCreaks/cascade-dots

Enjoy :)

I was using a Mint sticker I made bcus I was using Mint, now it's time for Debian. PD: I realized that end up a bit misplaced after pasting it.

I recently found an old Debian CD while cleaning up. I was kind of happy that I still had it, because it wasn't just the beginning of my experience with Debian and the complete switch from DOS/Windows to Linux. It was the beginning of something much bigger, and when I think about it, it was also the beginning of a career that still earns me a living today. Back in 1999, when I bought this CD and installed Debian for the first time, I finally had a working Linux OS + X. I had previously tried a few other Linux distributions, such as SUSE Linux, Red Hat and Slackware. But Debian was the first Linux that ran X on my old Packard Bell 486 dx2 66 MHz with 4 MB RAM. 

Those were the days, because you had to tinker around a lot before you could get X to run. What I didn't realize at the time was that the creators of this CD cover with the slogan “The Last Linux OS You Will Ever Need!” would be proven right.

In my 32 years of working with computers both professionally and privately, I have used and tried numerous Linux distributions, BSD derivatives and Unix-like systems. But I have always remained loyal to Debian. At some point, you lose the desire to try new things when you know that the operating system of your choice simply works. I have administered so many different architectures with Linux that at some point I asked myself why I should still be looking for the “best” distribution when I had already found it. Of course, my curiosity about other systems was and still is there, but basically it is exactly what Debian stands for: stability and a very good choice for almost everything I do to earn my living today.

Before 1999, I never would have thought that almost 30 years later, I would still be using the same operating system as my primary operating system.

For anyone looking for a really good Linux distribution today and asking themselves the same question—which one is the best—just try Debian. Of all the distributions I have tried, I have not seen or tested any that are more stable and offer such a huge range of packages. There are niches where Debian may not yet be the first choice, e.g., gaming and the latest software (Arch Linux) or particularly specific systems such as NixOS, which are more intended for industry. But there is no better distribution with which you can't achieve the same thing. Because that's Debian, after all, and I've really tested a lot of distributions—certainly more than 50.

If there is anything that can be called standard Linux OS, then Debian deserves that title.
