Debian, a great operating system for work
What do you like best about the product?
In my experience working with Debian the best thing has been its stability, while in Windows I suffer constantly problems with software that is sometimes incompatible and gives failures even reboots, in Debian I have seen the opposite.
What I like the most about Debian is how to install the applications, which do not need to be searched online, since they are installed from a repository using the command console or using the Marketplace graphically, where we can find thousands of software applications that have been tested by the community and by the Debian team to ensure that the software is free of malicious code and also works properly. I also liked that Debian is very customizable and through changes in the theme, fonts and icons we are able to obtain an operating system totally different from the one presented to us by default.

What do you dislike about the product?
The only negative aspect that I have found in Debian is the initial learning curve that is required to make a professional use of the operating system, personally I think it takes time to be able to use this operating system professionally.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In our company we use Debian mainly because we use software that only works under Linux efficiently, in Windows it is very unstable so we decided to use Debian. In my experience with Debian I have been able to verify its used not only for this software but in many other areas such as security and privacy, very important aspects in a work environment.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Debian is an operating system that I recommend mainly if you are looking for a secure environment and that is updated on a regular basis so that we have access to the latest versions of the software without risking the security of our computer and the network in which it is located.
Best Linux experience and performance
What do you like best about the product?
· A lot of Linux distributions are based on Debian (Ubuntu e.g.) so it exist a great bunch of packets perfectly suited for this distro.
· Good performance both in graphical and terminal enviroments (Lighter than Ubuntu, for example).
· Very easy to install.

· Very easy to install.
What do you dislike about the product?
· Maybe more difficult to start with than Ubuntu, because it dowsn't have "Store". Nevertheless, it is only a small effort to put all on the go.
· GUI is a bit "old fashioned" compared to Ubuntu, but easy to change.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've been using Debian as my standard testing Linux distribution for TCP/IP protocol stack behaviour and DNS, DHCP, LDAP, etc. server configuration. I realized this distro is perfectly suited for terminal usage, because all this tasks were done easily only on terminal.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If this is your first experience with Linux, maybe you should try Ubuntu first, it's easier to start with it. Well, of course you need to know if you want a Debian-based distro or a Red Hat one, but I suppose you have it chosen if you are reading this. Nowadays, from my point of view Debian is better than all of derived distros, so you won't chose badly.
Perfect Open Source Linux Distro
What do you like best about the product?
The package management system (apt) & community support is top notch
What do you dislike about the product?
so many various Debian/ubuntu distro's but no paid support
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
free open source web server using Debian & apache
Recommendations to others considering the product:
solid community support, great package selection
The maximum stable multipurpose server
What do you like best about the product?
This cannot be achieved on Windows. For servers, private laptops, mail servers, etc., the operating system conversion is continuously carried out within the appropriate path. And thanks to the network, we can find assistance anywhere and even in French, many tables and clients, in addition to educational moving images, allow you greater control of Debian.
What do you dislike about the product?
Currently, I have no issues with the operating system of the machine running Debian. I always have problems with the Ethernet ports, I don't understand why. This makes it especially obvious within the kernel and in the environment of computing devices. It requires prior knowledge in Linux to be able to use the machine running on the Debian console, which it currently does not have. It already has some famous packages, for them those famous programs are changed, to mimic the functionalities of those previously defined, which include Word, Excel, replaced by loose packages among specific software programs. Currently, I have no objections with the operating system of the Debian machine.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is a low-cost method to have many servers at your disposal. Currently in our company, it is used in the server environment, with applications that include SFTP servers, for the management of essential documents, stability, and fluidity. We have considered using Arch Linux, yes, due to some issues that arise with conflicts with packages, dependencies, etc. when updating, it is a horror, but still, it is too difficult to transport everything. The wait time for updates or stable version releases could be very long. Currently, we use Debian for our virtual servers that are activated in an extraordinary variety of offerings, such as SFTP servers, Internet servers, and anti-DDOS rules with IPTABLES.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Please, strive for the MATE computer device environment. You can implement Debian on almost all cloud platforms and the mindset is conservative enough to ensure the stability you need for a business. To try it, they are miles to undertake it. You can install Debian on almost all cloud platforms and the mindset is conservative enough to guarantee the stability you want for a commercial enterprise.
The server is extra solid and robust.
What do you like best about the product?
The foremost aspect of Debian is the way it leverages assets. When you want to optimally use computer hardware, Debian is one of the high-quality alternatives. You can configure it to use resources in the best and most complete way. Whether it's exceptional software development for heavier IDEs or for virtualization, it has an excessive configuration capability that allows you to focus the device on the task you need to perform, which is why it is one of my top alternatives when selecting an exceptionally functional operating machine. Additionally, I work at an employer where we deliver software programs on Debian and SuperMicro servers. I've even had issues with drivers, but I resolve them quickly within the community. If yours is to save money, you can have this system running as option number 3, the first being Linux Mint and the second Ubuntu. I have been using the operating device for years and have not had any major problems. I've had issues with drivers, but I still resolve them quickly. If your goal is to save money, you could have this operating system as option number 3, the first being Linux Mint and the second Ubuntu.
What do you dislike about the product?
Change can also seem hard. The only points of concern are the wear and tear on interoperability with proprietary software programs, generally those through the non-standard Microsoft Windows community configuration, such as proprietary report codecs from Adobe, Oracle, and Autodesk. The alternative can seem hard. The time needed to look at software like VLC as an example to replace · Installation is difficult for a consumer without understanding Linux.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Currently, our employer uses Debian in the server environment, with exceptional applications along with SFTP servers, for the management of essential documents. The stability and fluidity that Debian offers in combination with the hardware sources of our IT infrastructure is truly a great combination for problem-solving in our company. This results in an advantage in productivity and a tremendous benefit in the economic system. It is much cheaper than Linux for the market of different operating systems. We have considered the use of Arch Linux for sure, due to some issues that arise with conflicts with packages, dependencies, and so on when updating, it is a horror, but it is too difficult to transfer everything to Arch. For a new user, it will be very difficult, as it does not provide instructions with Windows now, which takes some time to get used to a Linux operating system.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Pay unique attention to interoperability needs in case you rely on proprietary software. One of the fantastic Linux distributions, I quite suggest its use in server and laptop environments. One of the best Linux distributions. I fantastically propose its use within the server and desktop environment. You can paint under Debian effortlessly in a virtual machine in case you paint as a developer and automate many components with Ansible and Vagrant for environment enhancement configuration. One of the greatest Linux distributions that I specifically approve of its use in server and laptop environments. I extraordinarily support this operating system because it has very solid packages and its support community is very strong, they are always attentive and willing to help.
The great mother of the Linux distros
What do you like best about the product?
Well, I use Debian MATE as my personal workstation at work and at home. Also, I work at a company where we ship software along with Debian and SuperMicro servers. The maintainers of Debian are doing a really good job to keep up with maintaining compatibility with old packages.
This was the first Linux I installed, but it was too big for me. Now I realize it's very easy, but maybe painful to new users.

What do you dislike about the product?
The time you have to wait for software (for example, VLC) to update. You install them outside the package manager that can break dependencies. It's the way the distro is meant to, but it feels very far away from the new packages and updates.
I always have had problems too with ethernet ports, I don't know why. I use TP-Link cards usually and I always have to spend a lot of time fixing these types of errors.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are shipping software for the autoconfiguration of CPEs (GPON home routers, basically). My team is writing software in Python, Bash, and Javascript. The benefits are the stability. We have considered using Arch Linux (yes, due to some problems that arise with conflicts with packages, dependencies etc when upgrading, it is a horror) but it's still too much hard to move everything to Arch. Now along with Ansible, we will make Debian even better, and we are happy with it. We are still using Debian 8 but we're targeting version 9.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Please, try MATE desktop environment!
Free and universal operating system
What do you like best about the product?
Great community support, easy installation and management. Very stable
What do you dislike about the product?
Like any Linux, minimal terminal knowledge is required for its 100% use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Installed on many of the servers I have implemented for all kinds of functions, even as a client in production
Total flexibility in OS deployments & configurations, no strings atqtached
What do you like best about the product?
Users & organisations have total flexibility from source code up; only obligations are those inherent in free software licenses, usually applicable only if redistributing software outside of the organisation.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing to dislike in Debian itself; only points of attention are attrition in interoperability with proprietary software, typically those by Microsoft (nonstandard MS Windows network configuration, for instance), Adobe, Oracle & Autodesk (proprietary file formats).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Several users needed a more secure & flexible OS for technical tasks such as Web or Java development, network management, security administration, servers &c.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do not migrate wholesale, but start with servers & technical users. Pay special attention to interoperability needs if you depend of proprietary software.
Debian is my server OS
What do you like best about the product?
Debian is stable, with a great community, you can find 'how to' for whatever you want, it is perfect as a server operating system.
It is an old distribution with many users and contributors around the world, and it is used as base for big desktop (and server) distribution like ubuntu.
You can easily follow the upgrade of the system without needed to install again the whole system.
You can also find experts to help you if you need training or services.
And it's free !

What do you dislike about the product?
If I need to dislike something, sometimes for the stability purpose some software are kept back to an old version and we need additional repositories to enjoy new features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Every time I need to host a service I use debian as my OS, websites, services like xmpp, or email server.
It's free, when you have learn to use it, it costs you nothing more, it's a huge business quality.
You can spend more money on human resources instead off paying big prize for licenses when you can have one of the best product for free.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need a really good, stable and followed operating system you can go with debian blinded, it is not the most simple as desktop OS, ubuntu, based on debian is great and you are with a derivative, so debian is still here.
You can easily work under debian in a virtual machine if you work as a developer and automate a lot of thing with ansible (and vagrant for the development environment setup).
You can deploy debian in almost all cloud platform and the mentality is conservative enough to assure you the stability you need for a business.

Very efficient and stable operating system
What do you like best about the product?
Security and stability is very important, so much so that other projects such as Ubuntu rely on Debian to build all its architecture. I recommend it because you do not have to worry about formatting every six months or for any pendrive with viruses, that does not exist in this operating system. I have been using the operating system for years and I have not had any major problems. I have had problems for drivers but thanks to the community I solve them in a short time, if yours is to save money, you can have this operating system as option number three, the first is Linux Mint and the second Ubuntu.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not like that you need to have medium knowledge to use it, it should be a little more friendly, maybe it is one of the secrets to maintain its high quality, but you should review that detail to gain more users. Another factor is the language, if you do not know the basics of English, you will have to work, although at present, with Google that is not very relevant but I would like to write that detail.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The first thing is to rescue files that were lost when a virus fell on my other proprietary operating system. The second, being free is unlimited everything I can use. But best of all, forget about viruses and format, it's amazing how I can use the resources of my PC to the maximum.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are starting a business or project, this operating system can save you a lot of resources, because you do not pay for use licenses, it is one of the biggest attractions you have, you just need to get familiar and ready, you can use a stable and maintained operating system for the global community without paying a dime unless you want to donate to the project.
