What advantages does Debian have over Fedora?
>>
>>52334627
If you're using Debian Stable you get more stable packages.
If you use Debian Testing then there is pretty much no benefit.

Debian is fine if the software you need is in the repo.
Unfortunately, getting the new version is considered "unstable" and you are on your own if you want a secure system.
Ubuntu has ppa's to fix this so Ubuntu LTS is a lot better for my server.

>>52334801
RPM Fusion doesn't have stats, but Debian's default repo with nonfree and contrib included would definitely be bigger. It has basically everything.

You mean a community of SJWs and those who already committed suicide because of how garbage it is?

>>Unparalleled support
Not a single fucking company behind it.

>>dpkg
How are those broken dependencies treating ya friend
also friendly reminder apt was the last package manager to introduce package signing, a CRITICAL security feature.

>Well integrated packages
In what regard? Unlike rpm packages which have a packaging guidelines and utilize specfiles rendering them easy to inspect, understand, modify and rebuild, debs are pure fucking mess because everyone does what everyone wants.

>>Secure
Lmao literally the least secure Out of The Box distro you can get because developers assume you know what you're doing and you're capable of securing it yourself. By default debian only has BASIC security features.
Ubuntu is literally "hardened" debian. Redhat's "lab rat" distro as /g/ likes to describe it stomps both of them.
