    Alana D.

The most stable linux distro

  • August 18, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It works and it won't break unless you break it, I have a Debian 4 machine running in a very old laptop that I use for tests and it still works relatively well without needing to upgrade and I never plan to upgrade it until the hardware fails with age but at the same time I have some machines running Debian 9 and 10 and they work like a charm either in physical or virtual hardware.

As far as I'm aware Debian is the most stable distro in the Linux World
What do you dislike about the product?
That stability comes as expected with a tradeoff and that is that sometimes the newest and fanciest toys are not available until around 6 months or even 2 years later unless you install them from an external repository.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For starters, my main home PC is a Debian Desktop with Raid 1 for all my important data, even if or when it fails all my important data is protected. I also use it a lot on Virtual Deployments and I always have a live usb with me in case any machine fails in any form
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For stability there is just no better OS, unless you need a new hot feature in a rolling distro it's the best linux out there

Operating System for Humans

  • September 20, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The best feature Debian has (in addition to its amazing package manager) is its community. All Debian developers are volunteers that manage to keep a great repository of free software applications that come together to form an amazing experience. And its users support each other in making an awesome ecosystem to be in for whatever needs you have. That is only one of the reasons why several other distributions are based off of it.
What do you dislike about the product?
In order to take full advantage of your OS you need to understand several idiosyncrasies that stem from the way Debian does some things. And when you are trying to get your head around a new OS, those things are not something you want to spend your time on... even if they would save you time on the long-term.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Debian has been running on all machines I use and administer for years now. They are great for severs (if you use the latest stable release) an widely accepted in the software world as one of the major players. It would be difficult to find something that does not explain how to run on Debian (or something like Docker... that you can run on Debian very easily)
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are tired of package dependency hell, Debian - with its apt package manager - is the solution you have been looking for. And if you are scared of Debian, then you may want to try a derivative distribution like Ubuntu (or one of its derivatives) and as you try to simplify that setup move back to Debian afterwards.

Good, stable operating system

  • September 06, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
As this is the base that Ubuntu was built from, there is a lot of software that is targeting Debian/Ubuntu. Most software that is available for Ubuntu is also available for Debian.
What do you dislike about the product?
This is not for everyone. Linux on the desktop is great for a technical person, but not yet suitable for a non-technical user.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Desktop environment. Some of our servers run Debian, both in staging & in production. Docker is also a technology we use and this works very well with Debian. We use Debian to support our continuous integration and continuous deployment set-ups for many of our customers.

Debian a Linux OS

  • July 30, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Most interesting thing about Debian is more stable and secured your system from malware. even it detects external devices whether they affected by virus or not. so file crashing is avoided. as in Windows affected devices may affect internal files also. Recovery doesn't take too much time once it get interrupted. due to stability and more secured function user for server handling. Not a big deal to use it. Thousand of applications are run without any bug.
What do you dislike about the product?
graphical interface is not like Windows so its use by only official workers who are a part of something, Its not that much interesting for those who are running OS for gaming and who works with desktop packages. finding of Devloper packages gives error sometimes while using terminal.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a official task are has to be more secured which may get affected in Windows so to avoid this we are using Debian in some of our Desktop machine. working on it. with lots of applications. as a secured storage saving files on it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use it for machine with lower specification want a security from malware withuo

Stable, safe and robust operating system.

  • July 27, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
With Debian I have a very well developed and stable Linux Operating System, I can program and adapt my projects very well with this system. Debian is the most stable system that Linux has, with a very large community of experts who constantly give updates and improvements.

Debian allows me to have many options, I can use it to control networks, servers, and personal computers, with an easy, fast and secure desktop.
What do you dislike about the product?
Debian is a very advanced system but difficult to configure, it is difficult for new users in the Linux world to enter with this large distribution, many programs must be installed separately for proper operation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have Debian installed on my personal PC, there I can have everything in one place, create softwares, modify Debian to my needs, control networks of my work site and have server options and everything from an operating system, with its graphical interface and Desktop I can surf the internet very well and do many things with a single Operating System on my PC.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend Debian to users with experience in programming and Free Software, it is a very robust system but complex in many things.
With Debian you can have a virus-free personal PC and configure networks with server programs, all from the same Operating System.

Debian, Robust and safe

  • July 10, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The "Debian" operating system is robust, powerful and stable free software that guarantees the applications installed on this platform work optimally and correctly. Its documentation and the post of help are very varied on the internet and it has command like MAN that offers the syntax of all the commands of the operating system by the console .. Actually have an operating system that does not generate the concerns of its operation and freedom of viruses is a minor burden for the user that increases their productivity.

What do you dislike about the product?
What I dislike is how difficult it is to install some applications because of the dependencies that are not installed in the system. So you spend time installing and downloading internet Internet programs and install it, where sometimes the dependencies installed depend on others and so on. Another of the negative aspects of debian is its graphic interface which is very elementary and unattractive to end users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Among the benefits of debian for the institute, is that it increased the speed of the personal computers to work with the program tools, since it does not require a powerful hardware to work with Debian. The other beneficial aspect is that with linux, computer viruses are null and this guarantees the integrity of the files and minimizes the loss of information
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If I would recommend Debian for those companies with obsolete equipment, with few resources to buy software licenses, where their technical service department is limited in number of workers and want to increase the productivity of their workers. I would also recommend it to install all the network services such as Internet Servers, Web Services, IP assignment, mail servers among others

Amazing all purpose operating system

  • July 04, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It runs very well and with little resource usage in all hardware and inside a VM. Amazing operating system for running all kind of scripts and simulating all kind of scenarios.
What do you dislike about the product?
Many think that using Debian is hard, that's not true anymore, it is as easy to use as Windows or MacOSX.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I run it inside a VM to run linux programs in my macbook and in many servers to do bug simulation and troubleshooting.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's easy to use, we are not in 199x when using linux was hard, it's as easy to use as Windows or MacOSX

Debian

  • June 29, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
What I love about Debian, is that the virus problem does not exist, I have more than 3 years of experience, working almost daily with Debian. I have not found a file that can not be read or manipulated even if it has a computer virus. Regardless of whether I have a virus file because I have been working on Windows, only this detail makes me want to Debian. In my case I consider myself a programmer who loves to do my processes and not use the routines already done, with debian I can program my routines and tasks for the operating system, I can modify the existing ones to adapt them to my needs
It is ideal for those who perform administration services, such as IP allocation, user license management, web services, database services, among others.
For these reasons and many more I love Debian.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I do not like about Debian is the installation of its packages, some programs to install them must be an expert, since it has many dependency problems installed, which causes the person in charge of the installation of the programs to lose a large amount of productive time, trying to execute a program by locating each unit separately and installing it. Another aspect that I do not like is that its graphic interface is very unattractive, if I have already worked with Windows or Mac, although in the latest versions it has improved, but nowadays it is still unattractive, which makes the desktop worker feel uncomfortable Another aspect, although it could be seen as an advantage, they updated their systems and programs compatible with Debian almost daily, but this forces the technicians to update each command so that their programs are more efficient and consume productive time. work
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main benefit is to be able to efficiently use the computers of the Ministry since most of them have an outdated hardware configuration, Pentium IV, core-duo. Debian allows machines to be used to perform desktop jobs, such as working with text editors and spreadsheets efficiently and quickly.
For the administration of the operating system service, Debian makes it very easy for the people in charge of those tasks, facilitating the proper use of the Ministry's information platform.
Another aspect that generates benefits is that the software is free and there are no limits for the user to use it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend it for those organizations whose computers have hardware configurations with few resources or obsolete that generate problems for users to run office programs and other installed software. Also for those companies that want to install and manage their IP allocation services, manage their web domain, control the security of their users, offer database services, among others. I would also recommend it Also for those companies that want to save money, in not buying licenses and that allows you to have no user limitations to use the operating system

Debian

What do you like best about the product?
What I like about Debian is the security that my files do not get infected with viruses, or that the operating system is damaged, when it closes without running the process of closing the system. With the Windows 7 operating system, the machine became infected with viruses even if it had an antivirus installed, due to the speed with which it creates viruses. In Debian there is no virus and, although it can read a Pendrive file with a virus file, the operating system is not infected and its files are safe. Debian is very stable and even if the operating system is suddenly interrupted, when the machine is turned on, the system starts without any problem, without any type of system recovery.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I do not like about Debian is its graphical interface compared to Windows or Mac, it is very rudimentary, not interesting for users who use the system to work with desktop packages and who call them interest in the graphics of games or programs. design. Other things that limit the use of debian is that although my functions are related to the technical service and the programming area, install a package, sometimes it is inconvenient for the issue of dependencies. In some cases, the installation of a program requires a lot of time and, sometimes, the software is not installed due to the dependencies that must be installed to execute the desired program.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main benefit is the reduction of work motivated by the decrease in user requirements for the cause of computer viruses and the loss of information that causes the contamination of a data file. The percentage of formatting of the operating system and the reinstallation of software caused by the operating system damage due to failures of system shutdown or registry system defect that damage the Windows operating system also decreased. Another benefit is the increased speed of software processing compatible with debia, since the operating system does not consume as much RAM as other proprietary operating systems. They increased their processing capacity by running the different packages that are compatible with Debian.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend debian for those institutions that have computers with few processor resources and RAM, due to their ability to be faster when processing information with debian compatible packages, also for those companies that have many problems with the virus problem. I would also recommend it for its stability and excellent performance, with the presence of very few faults.
