You asked for it, you got it. Here's what I think of Red Hat.Sorry this video took a bit longer than I'd like, since I'm working on finishing my basement (fu...
The misconception of Debian as an “outdated” distro is… alarming. IDK but I am running Debian 12 (coming from latest Fedora) and I don’t feel any sign of early deprecation or that an already “old distro”. It’s smooth, stable and usable, like things should be if you use your computer to do other stuff and you rely on your installed software to be there for you when you need it.
People tends to freak out if the latest packages aren’t installed. Stop it, please, security patches are more important than having the latest Gnome/KDE version. Perhaps if we stop selling that idea in Youtube videos, newcomers to this space will not be rushing to install the latest things without knowing if they are worth and really good distros like Debian, which is NOT a corporate backed Linux Distribution, will get more traction.
(PS: in Fedora, you are a guinea pig for future RHEL updates and ultimately, more profits for IBM)
Not to mention RH is ultimatly in charge of Fedora, so it isn’t a community distro. Look at the codec issue that came up this year the lawyers at RH told them to remove it so they did. If it was a community distro why would the lawyers care?
I’ve used debian stable for a decade now. The things I care about are not dependent on new features, so I’m not in a hurry to upgrade to newer versions. I’m happy with security updates and a system that is reliable above all.

I mean sure it’s not outdated now. But it’s only been released a month ago. What are you gonna say a year from now?

For most users pretty GUIs are far more important than the latest security updates. (And even if they weren’t, Fedora offers both.)
