Debian in a nutshell

  • April 30, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's a very good operating system as it's convenient and fast. It is developer-friendly and the best part about Debian is that it's an open-source Operating System. It means I don't need to spend too much on getting an operating system license. This saves a lot of money for me as while purchasing a laptop I just need to pay for the device and not the operating licenses. This reduces the cost to a great extent. I also like the huge number of packages available for easy download in debian.
What do you dislike about the product?
The thing I dislike about Debian operating system is that it's not always updated, there are fewer updates that are not frequent die to which the user is left with no choice but to use outdated software system. Also, there are sometimes glitches that cause the system to overheat when running multiple servers on the same system. It has not so good power management as it drains power too fast while running multiple development servers like nodejs or python. Also when it comes to community support there's slightly less support available from the community for Debian as compared to other open source operating systems like Ubuntu or Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I realised that there are a huge number of installed and available packages in Debian and this makes it very developer friendly as I don't have to look for the alternatives.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't run too many servers and don't download packages from unknown sources

Awesome OS that I have used till date

  • April 29, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about Debian is its fast speed when performing any tasks. The OS is also open source and freely available so that anyone can use it free of cost.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are not much in the downsides of Debian. The only thing that I dislike about Debian is that there are less application softwares on debian as compared to windows OS.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being an IT student, I must familiarize with all the commands on terminal or bash. Using debian OS, users must have knowledge of the terminal commands that saves time and effort while performing day to day tasks on computers. So, I am saving my time and solving my clients' problems in fast speed using Debian OS.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Debian OS needs some basic command line commands to be known by the users, so it will be better if the user planning to use Debian learns some of the controls for the terminal.

Debian is my favourite operating system for desktop and server

  • March 20, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Debian is the ultimate operating system. Debian is strictly free software, but with the option to include non-free sources. Debian is maintained by an international community of expert volunteers. Debian offers a choice of stable, testing, or cutting-edge releases. Debian has an excellent packaging and upgrade system. Debian emphasises security and stability. Debian is suitable for both desktop and mission-critical servers.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's somewhat difficult to get started with modifying and installed package, as source code is not installed by default.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Debian as my main desktop operating system, and on my servers. I develop software and play video games on Debian. I run Debian in Virtualbox on Windows systems.
