I would say you have that a bit backwards, Ubuntu exists because of Debian - not the other way around. This would be like saying children are the reason parents exist.
Ubuntu has given me PTSD for anything that ever slightly resembles it so I will take a pass on Debian - many other distros out there.
- kick 7y agoThis would be like saying children are the reason parents exist. From an evolutionary standpoint, kind of. In nature there are a bunch of species that have one/all of the parents die after the offspring are conceived/born. The same applies for Linux distributions a surprising amount of the time.
- saghm 7y ago> This would be like saying children are the reason parents exist I think I understand what you're saying, but the phrasing is a little strange. Without children, there wouldn't be any parents by definition.

- kanox 7y ago> And this is why Debian exists. What this means in this context is that Debian is still relevant and useful rather than a relic. It's the biggest community-based rather than company-supported distro and rejects such features.
