I use Debian mainly for servers and development environments because it’s extremely stable, secure, and reliable. I appreciate its rock-solid stability and reliability, and I find it well suited for hosting web services, running databases, and testing applications where long-term consistency and minimal downtime are important. The strict testing process, long-term support, and strong focus on security make it a dependable choice. I also like how it solves issues around system instability and unexpected updates by offering a stable, predictable environment. For setup, the guided installer made things fairly straightforward, handling disk partitioning, networking, and base package selection smoothly, making it easy to get a stable system up and running with minimal issues.

I think the best thing about Debian is its being open source. It is completely open source and not influenced by any corporate entity, allowing it to always remain free. There is no scope for such greed that people are trying to sell something. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the fact that nothing comes pre-installed, but sometimes it feels like something should come pre-installed. This makes the entire control manual. For example, in Ubuntu, a little bit comes with some software pre-installed, so Debian should also come with some software pre-installed. This would make the system feel a bit fresh and new.
