What does /g/ think of Debian?
>> looking to switch to debian.
A typical linux distro.
No edgy, hipster or buzzword stuff.
Simply works.
Great if you are using it daily, boring if you want to learn or experimenting something.
Fedora is better in every way
It has a more euphoric name, but debian has the more euphoric users

It's pretty good, I use it.
Just don't break it.
Just did a fresh install and the ALSA mixer is fucked up out of the box.

Thanks hadn't that much of a laugh since a week

I like fedora, but remember you can't even use AES 256bit encryption because its illegal to distribute outside the U.S. Also, RH has to abide by U.S. law, so if backdoors become the law, fedora will start shipping with backdoors.

>you can't even use AES 256bit encryption because its illegal to distribute outside the U.S.
What? Why is aes256 illiegal outside US? and why should it even matter? If you want to encrypt your system/files/whatever you can just use external programs?

Export regulations forbid strong cryptography. Since Fedora is being distributed to the entire world, it cannot ship 256bit.

>Export regulations forbid strong cryptography.
But why? It isn't like I could just simply get something else to encrypt my drive with aes256
>>55240062
It's U.S. law, not Fedora's. And yes, in the modern day that law doesn't mean anything unofficially. Read this to get an idea of how the regulations came into place.

Yeah but no one wants to use a failed java fork.

>implying mono is a thing
get out my /g/
Stable is for servers and corporate desktops, Unstable is unstable as fuck and still has old packages, and Testing is nearly useless and still doesn't update nearly often enough, and all are pains in the ass for desktop use.
Debian for desktop: not even once.

>needing to update packages for anything besides security more than once a year
Only the best versions of software makes it to stable, resulting in the perfect desktop, only with small exceptions like pulse audio.

GOTTA GET THAT WHITE LIGHTING BABY
