Examples could be things like specific configuration defaults or general decision-making in leadership.

What would you change?

    Debian

    • Say the current stable and testing version number and name clearly on the web front page. Actually put it on every single page instead of burying it somewhere. It takes no space at all and is stupidly hard to find of you’re ootl.
    • Nicer installer. Make sure images with WiFi drivers and firmware are easy to find.

    Also I wish every distribution had a wiki as nice as Arch’s.

      If I might add something: We could turn something like testing or unstable into a proper rolling release for desktop machines. It works reasonably well for that. However it is completely unsupported and would require some change to the release model and manpower dedicated to it.

        Debian + nix unstable and you get the best of both worlds. Bleeding edge userland, and the system always boots^btw

    • Baut [she/her] auf.

      That’s included in the main installation iso now.

      You know you can just write: stable or testing on your /etc/apt/sources.list repository config, instead of the distro codename, don’t you?
