From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I use Aurora, but my dev containers on aurora are usually Debian. So yes, technically I use Debian a lot!
It's what I know and love, just Debian, bspwm and startx. Servers and desktop both. I feel somewhat grumpy that I can't run xorg on remote servers, but I made my peace.
Apart from my current complete move to Linux, I'm contemplating setting up a prettier Debian for my folks.
I like Debian + flatpaks. 🤷♀️
I like the philosophy behind Debian. It's not a corpo distro
I used to like Ubuntu LTS because it was just Debian that wasn't quite as out of date, but more recent installs seem to suggest that you only get all the patches if you subscribe to their paid service? Not sure what the fine print is on that.
This box was turned on, Nextcloud installed, and never touched since (side from apt updates).
