Switching from Microsoft Windows to Linux is one of the best decision I ever made.
Thank you to the thousands of Debian volunteers. You are amazing people ❤️
i know people usually are like, “oh cool new features”
but this has a security patch that will literally unblock my pipelines at work lol 🎉
Sounds interesting. Care to elaborate?
i don’t know the full nature of the exploit, but
zlibhas an exploitable integer overflow via the MiniZip project. even though our images don’t use that project.
Been running SID forever on my servers. Thank you Debian for being my rock.
Hell yeah, i love Debian, its such a Great and Powerful OS.
Great and Powerful OS.
loved this
Noob here. My last distro was Zorin (which I liked well enough). Keen to switch to Debian base. Should I jump in and install vanilla Debian or wait for Mint Debian 7? Or should I believe the DistroWatch hype and go for MX?
Would prefer Xfce environment because I’ll be running it on 8+ yo laptop and and desktop.
If you’re a noob, what made you go with Debian in the first place?
I want to be clear, there’s nothing wrong with that, just not the usual path for a new Linux user.
I liked Zorin (often recommended for users coming from Windows) which is based off Ubuntu which in turn is based off Debian. Not a fan of Snaps, though. I also value stability over blistering performance and bleeding edge features.

I’m the same and decided to give Tuxedo Linux a try. So far I really like it.
Tuxedo looks interesting, tnx
You could have a look at MX Linux.
Debian is my favorite distro. I’ve used it for years.
Debian is releasing a Trixie Mattel edition? Is it all pink? How fun!
Trixie from Toy Story. Debian’s releases are always toy story characters
I was thinking of a Trixie from Hasbro
You mean Tracey Martell? 🤭
Yes, the Tracey Special Edition, with glitter included.
Looove me some Debian!
Like a lot of other people here I only use Debian for servers. However i recently (couple of months ago) spun up PikaOS (gaming oriented OS) that is based om Debiam Testing but have applied the patches from CachyOS and Nobara. Its a been a pleasure to use so far and hope to see ots community grow.
Much love for Debian, favorite distro for servers. Any thoughts on running it as a desktop GUI?
It works great with Plasma desktop
It works well, so long as you don’t mind your DE being a bit behind the latest version. With how much Plasma and Gnome have been improving in the past couple of years, that may matter a lot.
To be honest, I think it makes more sense than it used to. You can have an extremely stable base, and if you want regularly updated user apps you can utilise Flatpaks.
I’m waiting to more feedbacks and I will try it after
