I did not realize before starting to use Debian that there are different branches, which allows you to choose how stable or how up to date you want it to be. The stable branch, which is what I use, has features that are heavily tested. The software is older, but it does not break often at all because you have to manually update different components if you want them to do so. However, if you did want to use state-of-the-art components, you could consider the unstable version, which I have not personally used, but if I ever did want to do active development for the newest features, then I would be able to do that. Debian is deployed in my organization through the public cloud. Using the APT package manager is a common skill for cloud professionals, which makes it good, especially if you are hiring individuals into the company, because at least you would expect they have some type of background using Debian. I rate Debian a 10 because it is extremely stable, lightweight, fast, and open source, so it is free. The only real downsides are that there might be a learning curve because installing it requires a bit more technical experience than Ubuntu, and the hardware compatibility does not always work out of the box with the newest hardware. However, those things are to be expected if you are trying to configure something which is world-class and also highly stable. So I do not really see them as drawbacks; they are more considerations to be aware of. My advice to others looking into using Debian is that I recommend using the stable branch if they want to make sure their application would be extremely stable, as it is a good way to go. Because it is so lightweight, it is very efficient to run Debian. There is a slight learning curve to it, which might make it a little harder to use than Ubuntu, but if experienced engineers are deploying it, I do not think that is a reason not to use it. I would recommend going for it.
My advice for others looking into using Debian is that it needs to be widely used in organizations. I think a marketing strategy needs to be improved for Debian so that it can be widely used and penetrate the market. I would rate this review an eight overall.
My advice for others looking into using Debian is to read the documentation and take advantage of the big community to ask questions. Currently, my company does not have a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer, but we are looking for this. I gave this product a rating of nine out of ten.
My advice for others looking into using Debian depends on their purpose. It is different advice for using Debian on the desktop versus for a server. If you are using it over AWS or something, there is not much advice needed since cloud providers have their own interfaces. For running a Debian server, there is a lot of advice online that I am not qualified to give. For the desktop, be prepared for a lot of tweaking and configuration since you are starting with a blank slate and building from there. Many features that come on Windows and Mac are not necessary and can bloat the experience. I found this interview to be a little less applicable for Debian, so you might want to have different review prompts or templates depending on the type of technology you are reviewing or interviewing for. My overall rating for Debian is nine out of ten.
Other vendors should consider preparing AWS market-ready instances that are based on Debian. Offering ready-to-spin virtual machines that are packaged with their software would be beneficial. My advice to others looking into using Debian is to assess their current pain points if they are using Windows or another Linux distribution and check if Debian resolves those issues. It's more compatible with solutions they may already have deployed on other operating systems, and I'm confident they'll find it to be a better and more cost-effective choice. My additional thoughts about Debian are that the best part is the community, the resources available online, and how easy it makes it for technical users. I truly appreciate that I've never struggled to achieve or implement something on Debian. If I don't know how, I can always search online and find someone who has already done it, along with tutorials or documentation available online. I would rate my overall experience with Debian highly based on its stability, compatibility, and strong community support.
