• To compare the software in this project to the software available in other distributions, please see our Compare Packages page.

• Notes: In case where multiple versions of a package are shipped with a distribution, only the default version appears in the table. For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.
  

• Colour scheme: green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.

The purists who want the cleanest environment possible to build from without going overboard will find this is a great start without having to learn too much especially if you come from Ubuntu or mint. Fair warning though - its GUI app store app isn't that great and needs a lot of time just to load categories, let alone do proper searches. Terminal is your friend here in a very big way and that's not a bad thing. It takes some doing, but doing that do does make the do worth it. And the do is really just getting comfortable with the terminal and apt. The benefit is that you get to know your system better and once its all rigged up you can know that you aren't dealing with extra bloat unless you want to and that the core of it all - the kernel - is stable. Getting into the flow doesn't take long. Added bonus is the ease of which you can install basically every desktop on install. Nice! Was this review helpful?

Debian is definitely the best distribution on the marke The best desktop is definitely the lxde desktop. Debian lxde is the best and smoothest Linux distribution I have ever used. It is both light, fast and stable to the end. Wine latest version ( 9.0 ) works perfectly I can play the Astral Tale mmorpg game without any problems with blender, makehuman programı mixamo all work. Even though I tried many times before, I could not use Debian on my laptop. It always caused problems, especially the nvidia graphics card problem. but debian 12 lxde is almost perfect. Since the resource usage is very low, I can play my games on my old computer without freezing or crashing. Likewise, I can use my programs easily. Everyone saying Debian packages are too old, lxde is too old. Don't pay attention to those who say so. The important thing is that your computer works smoothly The operating system should not put a burden on the computer should not exploit the resource He shouldn't be tiring his computer It should not wear out in a short time. It should not break the computer in a short time. here it is in debian lxde it does exactly that. Was this review helpful?

For about 8 years I used mainly Debian-based distributions, with or without systemd, due to the generous volume of Deb installation packages ,practical , boring stability, detection and correct storage of hardware settings , speed in execution – including on computers weaker, or / and older. Servers are no exception, compatibility with Debian stable is amazing, and upgrading to the new version is done on the fly without any problems for service management. My workstations usually use an custom light XFCE4 and I have not encountered any major software or compatibility issues. Successfully solve the task as a mediabox system, there are no problems with HDMI sound or disconnections for NetworkManager, which can not be said about devices with systemd-less modification, for example MX, Antix or Devuan-a thing to note here for non systemd believers. The optional installation of the current cores, backports, works smoothly, as does the current use with it. If the operating system appears memory-consuming or seems to use a longer boot time, it can be easily adjusted by administering services at startup specific systemd. Calamares-based installation routine is exceptional, you can easily change the types and size of partitions, and installation on UEFI partitions is perfect – here still a white ball against some non systemd distributions based on Debian and well rated, which installation grub UEFI fails miserably or simply is not done – negative example is Devuan with reflecta installer. The result is a deserved 10 note and a personal opinion not to remove systemd from Debian, to avoid unpleasant surprises. Was this review helpful? Yes No See all 343 reader reviews of Debian...
