debian is gud its just setting up anything other than systemd is a hassle there…debian and fedora would be great distros for regular users if it supported more init systems out-of-the-box
Well, for example, upgrading between releases is done by manually editing sources.list and some other steps, and there’s no easy tool for that. This is not difficult, exactly, but for people with little experience it’s a bit daunting. Debian in general isn’t the most new user friendly distro, in my experience. Distros like Mint and Ubuntu make the Debian experience slightly easier. Not that Debian is some esoteric system.
Well, what about just using Debian? It’s a bit hassle, maybe, but if you have prior Linux experience, you’ll be fine.

i’m shocked to see that anyone would proselytize for anything besides systemd; it feels like everyone likes that kool-aid flavor. lol
What hassle? Genuinely curious.
