Rather than "I love Debian", I think its core strength making the preferred choice for most situations: * well-maintained and large user-share * lowest common denominator for most deployments; regardless on if it's cloud, SBCs, bare-metal servers or desktop, Debian's default installation has a base set of packages for any scenario; just enough that you don't miss anything vital but not making opinionated choices when there is one to be made. For anything I use it for, the only additional things that go on all machines is userspace utilities like vim/tmux/htop. I never felt a need to remove anything.
