From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Debian catching strays over Ubuntu’s ubullshit.
Well, the only thing holding me from switching to Debian is the absence of up to date KDE packages....
What about in unstable or testing? I moved to Arch from Debian because I wanted faster releases and it just made sense to move to rolling instead of testing Debian install.
I think Debian has a place in the Desktop market, it's just not gamers or anyone wanting anything new (unless they of course go the flatpak route). Not a perfect analogy, but it's kinda like gaming on Windows 7 these days because it "just works" for you. Sure you can, but you're not getting the best of anything that way and all the underlying libraries are outdated and some things just aren't going to work at all.
