It’s my choice but Arch and its derivatives look like the trend like CachyOS which is #1 right now on visits on distrowatch. Also I’ve heard Google use Debian as gLinux and I feel many other giants also use it and sponsor it and I’m not comfortable choosing it as my distro. Can the sponsors togethwr with students or any other interested use it for their PCs, either coding or ordinary use? It strictly promotes free but worried about giants and sponsors.
It’s because nobody writes “I use Debian BTW”.
I’ll start now: I use Debian BTW
I do use it, but you are quite right I don’t tend to mention it unless asked.
I use Debian BTW.
I don’t really run around yelling about it. I mostly use derivatives like Mint, Raspberry PI OS (such a dumb rebranding) and armbian , but stock Debian goes on some servers since it just works. I’m not tuning anything nor looking for special packages. Unless there’s a driver issue (old Debian problem), it’ll be boring and work.
Use what tools work for you.
Huge thank you to the Debian devs. You’ve done me good tools for decades now.
