The distributions you mentioned are excellent, among the best in my opinion, and the best in specific fields. Debian is versatile and universal, a serious and professional project. You know, I feel the same way! In terms of marketing and image, there's still a lot of work to be done. Yes, the website absolutely needs improvement, especially the download page. Put yourself in the shoes of someone who doesn't know Linux: they would be quite overwhelmed by the number of Debian versions and especially by the challenge of finding a specific one. There isn't a serious merchandising effort. Many times I wanted to buy Debian items or clothing, but the website redirects to external services that are often poor and low-quality. And don't even get me started on the donations page.

@@YouTuxChannel lol, the website is not only confusing for new users ... I have been using Debian for 22 years now, and every time I search for the checksums of the ISO I downloaded, I spend five minutes cursing. The images themselves are very easy to find, it's one click ... but try to verify them, and you will learn what true frustration feels like. Fortunately you only need checksums very rarely, and once you are done circle-clicking, you can bookmark (at least for that specific release) ... but it is baffling how a team that can put together such a superior OS at the same time manages to have a website that looks like a middle school project. Ah, I guess it is just a part of the charm: the full _Debian Experience_ 😁

Yes, you're absolutely right! When Toy Story 4 was released in 2019, it introduced new characters, allowing this fun tradition to be extended even further. It’s great to see how a small homage like this has become a lasting part of Debian’s identity!

Thank you for your comment and for sharing your experience with Debian, starting with Hamm! You’re absolutely right-calling OpenStack a cloud company was a bit imprecise on my part. As you pointed out, it is indeed an open-source project for building clouds, and I appreciate you catching that. Regarding reproducibility, I completely agree! Debian is indeed a leader in this area, and I should have given it more attention. It's a crucial aspect of the project that showcases Debian’s commitment to reliability and consistency. As for the typo at 3:23, yes, "Slackaware" was an oversight. It should, of course, be "Slackware." Thanks for pointing that out, unfortunately i can't correct :( Again, thank you for your valuable feedback! I’m glad you enjoyed the video, and I’ll strive to make future content even more accurate and informative.

@@YouTuxChannel still a pretty good video though

@@autohmae Thank you, I'm glad you appreciated it. Even though it's not perfect and deserves improvements, including in the editing, I believe there's no other video as comprehensive about the history of Debian.

That's awesome! Debian Lenny is a fantastic place to have started. ;)

Thank you :) It's great to hear you're using Mint on your MacBook, and trying Debian 12 is an exciting step. In this context, "architecture" refers to the type of computer hardware your system is built on. For example, common architectures include x86_64 (for most modern computers), ARM (for smartphones or Raspberry Pi), and PowerPC (which some older Macs used). Different architectures have different instruction sets, meaning the way the processor handles tasks is unique to each. When installing Debian or any Linux distribution, it's important to choose the right architecture for your hardware. Since you’re using an older MacBook, make sure to verify whether it's running on an Intel-based processor (x86_64 ). Luckily, Debian supports a wide variety of architectures, so you should be good to go! I hope this helps, and enjoy your journey with Debian 12!

@@YouTuxChannel Thanks for explaining architecture, and its relevance to choosing a distro type. Yes, I knew just enough to make sure I got the right debian for my old macbook (Intel) and to verify the image checksum (and even the checksum check with gpg), which I had to learn a couple of years back when installing Mint. Though I have only run the debian live boot from USB so far, even that seems lighter or faster than Mint on both my old macbook and my wife's 2018 Lenovo ideapad 330. And Mint, in turn, runs better then OS X 10 / Windows 7 on the old macbook. Thanks again.

Thank you for your comment, I really appreciate your opinion! While I have a lot of respect for Ubuntu and what it has brought to the Linux world, I see Debian and Ubuntu a bit differently. Debian has contributed enormously to open source, whereas Ubuntu, while introducing innovations like ease of use, has in recent years taken a more independent path with technologies like Unity, Upstart, and Snap. It’s an interesting debate, and in the end, it enriches the Linux landscape!

Yes, I use AI to generate the audio and video content, which can sometimes lead to imperfect pronunciations. Thanks for pointing that out! I'm working on improving these details, but I really appreciate the feedback.

In GNOME 47, several applications still rely on GTK3 as they haven't yet transitioned to GTK4: Gnome terminal, Melt , Shotwell.

Add the Flathub beta repository (where the development version of GIMP is available) and Install GIMP 2.99.18 from the beta channel.

Use the terminal: flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub-beta flathub.org/beta-repo/flathub-beta.flatpakrepo flatpak install flathub-beta org.gimp.GIMP You can also build from source :)

You're right, I should have explicitly stated that it's the version after 13, which is expected in 2027, whereas in the video it could be interpreted as referring to the next version of Debian. I apologize.

I have updated the description as I am unable to modify the video. Thank you anyway for the observation.

Elaborate: if you have something to say, do it appropriately, otherwise stay silent and your next comments will be blocked. I’m open to criticism, but you can’t come here without arguments. Why disappointing? What do you think I said wrong, and what is your opinion on the matter?

I acknowledge that I may have been overly harsh in the video. Perhaps this was influenced by the fact that System76 is a company, and Pop!_OS is one of the less transparent distributions. Sure, it’s written in Rust, but it’s too similar to GNOME. A desktop environment should introduce a new idea of user interaction, something that stands out from the rest, and objectively, with GNOME and a few extensions, you can achieve more or less the same thing. Did we really need the Cosmic desktop? By all means, everyone is free to develop what they want, just as I am free to express my opinion, and that should be accepted.

thats ai

:) Thanks

This is not AI

Your welcome :) . Debian is "The Distro" ;)

Thanks :)

Slack is a Master

Thanks for that!
