Fast, Lightweight, and Secure

  • December 12, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I run Docker on Debian and use it as a fast OS for my older laptop. I appreciate that it's not as resource hungry as Windows, and it's less complicated to get safe applications installed since it doesn't come with bloatware. I like the ease of use, with easy navigation and a fast OS. I value its robust and secure nature, and it supports numerous types of hardware so I can install it on practically anything. The setup was straightforward once I did it the first time.

Reliable and secure operating system for technical and server environments

  • October 12, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
As an SOC Analyst, I often use Debian for lab setups, log analysis, and running lightweight security tools. What I like best about Debian is its unmatched stability and reliability. The system runs smoothly for long periods without needing frequent reboots or maintenance. Its package management through APT makes installing and updating software straightforward, and the massive repository of open-source packages means I rarely need to look elsewhere for tools.

I also appreciate how customizable Debian is. It lets me configure the environment exactly how I want, whether I’m setting up a SIEM test node or deploying scripts for automation. The strong community support and comprehensive documentation make troubleshooting and learning much easier.
What do you dislike about the product?
The main challenge with Debian is that some of its stable releases use older software versions, which can be limiting when I need the latest features or compatibility for new tools. The initial setup can also feel a bit technical for users who are new to Linux. However, once configured, it runs very efficiently and requires little maintenance. These issues are manageable with a bit of experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before using Debian, I had to rely on systems that required frequent updates and were prone to crashes. Debian solved that by providing a secure and stable environment that can run continuously without performance degradation. It also reduced setup time for lab projects and monitoring tools since the package manager handles dependencies seamlessly.

Overall, Debian has been a dependable operating system that supports both professional and technical workflows. It is ideal for anyone who values performance, security, and long-term system stability in their daily operations.
