Stable and secure foundation of a Computer needs

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The outstanding and reliable position of Debian is exceptional. For computing needs, whether for personal desktop or critical server environments, Debian provides a rock-solid foundation.One can rely on Debian to do the job without a doubt thanks to its testing it succeeds because of his dedication to free and open source software.
What do you dislike about the product?
Its conservative release cycle is one aspect of Debian that I find most undesirable. Although balance is undoubtedly a good thing, it could occasionally mean that software programmes in Debian repositories are not the most recent versions. This can be a problem if you need new software or advanced features for a particular project. It is crucial to note that Debian's static nature is well-known and properly satisfies the needs of many users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
By offering outstanding stability and dependability, Debian addresses a major issue in the field of operating systems. Servers and other essential systems are especially in need of this benefit since unanticipated problems and downtime can be expensive and disruptive. Debian's dedication to open-source ideas and thorough testing offer a trustworthy and safe computing environment.

Diving into Debian

  • August 08, 2023

What do you like best about the product?
A standout aspect of Debian lies in its unwavering dedication to open-source principles and its robust collection of software packages. The extensive availability of diverse software options renders Debian highly favored by users who prioritize system reliability and the freedom to tailor their setups according to their preferences..
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not about dislike but the area of improvement is that the Debian arises from its strong emphasis on stability and comprehensive testing, which can occasionally result in a lag when incorporating the latest, cutting-edge software features. This stands in contrast to distributions prioritizing swift updates, potentially dissuading users who seek immediate access to the most recent software innovations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Debian serves as a remedy for individuals in search of an operating system that prioritizes stability, dependability, and the ability to personalize. Its unwavering dedication to open-source values guarantees user autonomy and a transparent software environment.

It helps in my project to implement threads and inter process connection which lead to a robust software.

It is a great Linux distro

  • May 18, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Debian is a great Linux distro, and since Ubuntu is based on it, you will find many things for those operating systems. It is fast and reliable, with built-in developers tools available.
What do you dislike about the product?
Since Debian is not the most used, it is not so popular and the community is not as big as the Ubuntu's community. I think the UI in Ubuntu is better and more modern, despite they are similar.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Debian inside Windows Subsystem for Linux to run Docker inside it and has a better performance than running Docker natively in Windows. It helps me to run my local development environment.
