Also, Debian has seccomp, cgroups and the tooling required to provide very fine-grained access control. > has several app stores including FDroid and lots of apps made by independent developers True > Are there some technical or licensing issues Concentration of power; monopoly; corporate surveillance > Is writing in Java less productive than in C/C++/GTK or whatever they use in Ubuntu? There is no "they use in Ubuntu". It's a distribution. It benefits from application written in two dozen languages and most people don't want to rewrite applications in java. > UPD: Also 3 Gb of RAM might be not enough for Debian/Ubuntu based OS. Nonsense. I was using it with 32MB of RAM. Now 4 and I have free memory while running 2 browsers.
