I've been telling others much the same, but additionally: - You can see debian's maturity even in the ARM landscape. Out of all the distros that are compiled for ARM64, I could only get 2 (debian and opensuse) to run in the context of a standard VM. I think it's that others are targeted to SBCs rather than UEFI or something, but as apple and qualcomm grow into the traditional laptop space, this matters, and only debian & opensuse showed up to the party. - I'm lazy and value changing as little as possible, but if I ever need to move configurations around or my computer explodes and I need a fresh start... I can see the value in NIX / GUIX. As nix can sit atop debian, perhaps this is an end goal for some. - Also, getting overwhelmed by complexity as my time to spend on configuration decreases, I find FreeBSD's interactions pleasant and refreshing. - I like what I see of Alpine's commitment to smaller, less complex foundations. Perhaps this deserves attention too. So I guess I'm saying, absolutely yes to debian, but don't forget about nix, guix, alpine, and freebsd.
