>>53579187
It's so shitty that even the developer killed himself over it.

Don't listen to these faggots. It's pretty nice once you update to testing or sid. Even stable is pretty decent as long as you aren't using it for your desktop.

Debian is rather good. The thought that it uses systemd grinds my gears, though. But Debian is stable as fuck, and has a huge package library.
At least its the stable base distro instead of being an unstable derivative distro of a derivative distro with a pretty theme
>>53579392
he killed himself over the police sodomization, an aspect of his personal life, not about Debian, his work life
>>53579674
none of these are really valid points desu
>>53579739
ironically, I went with stable for my desktop, see bottom
>>53580714
It doesn't matter if your package manager is better when you're using a meme distro. At least Debian commands more respect than Arch that way, and has more finese than Ubuntu/Mint

this
I went with stable just because I need something that "just werks" while I'm working on my everyday shit

SysV init is still supported I believe, but it's not the default, you have to switch to it yourself
>>53583384
It's still supported, I run Debian Stretch with SysVinit
Debian unstable is best desktop distro
>>53579187
Great for servers,ass on the desktop.
>>53583448
Explain
>>53583446
Fedora is better.
>>53583511
Hahahahahaha

The community must like something about it. Otherwise, why use it as a starting point?
>>53583465
Apt is unreliable.Assuming you use stable on your server,you won't be updating much or adding many packges,for that matter.
>>53583556
Apt is fine m7
You just need to check transitions instead of blindly updating shit
>>53583579
No.
>>53583591
Yeh
>>53583579
This.
>>53583608
Whoops.I was replying to>>53583556.
>>53579187
It isn't. Try it out though. You need to learn for yourself why it's shite.
>>53583556
>>53583617
Fuck off shill

Why use Debian when glorious Gentoo exists?
>>53579187
It works well enough to be on a large chunk of the world's webservers.
>>53583700
>Gentoo
>server
Why would you do this?
>>53583725
most websites are shit.
this isn't a plus.
>>53583763
Poor web development has nothing to do with the underlying operating system.
>>53583780
poor backends do
>>53583830
Your backend options are Apache and Nginx. Those also do not have any bearing on the OS.
