      Debian’s “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” philosophy is why I use Debian for all my servers. I would rather have something look old and be functional every time.

      I recently started using Linux again after a 15+ year hiatus. The Debian installer looks exactly the same as it did when I stopped using it. I’m not hating, just stating why it might look outdated for some people.

        It’s kinda why I like it. No surprises, it asks you the same dozen questions in the same order and installs your new system.

          I love that it doesn’t change. I don’t like that when I boot from a ventoy disk it doesn’t install a boot loader. Took me like 5 installs to figure out what was going on.

      Not having them pretty much makes Debian a non-starter for many home users. It’s a thing that one really only runs into when they get serious about using Linux.

    Debian sid(testing) is better for regular desktop usage because of security patches and bug fixes but debian stable is good for servers

    I have been using Debian 11 as a my daily driver for the past couple years, sure it may be old and outdated and doesn’t get as great of performance on games due to the old kernel, but I would rather have stability than the newest software. Everything I need works great. I will soon upgrade to Debian 12!
