Very stable OS with a huge amount of packaged software. Supported for security issues up to 10 years (LTS + ELTS). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Being a community OS it is not backed by a company which can provide official support. In that cases one may want to used Red Hat or other commercial offerings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I used the Raspberry Pi device, in which I have used Debian and I felt it is the best to have and work on it. UI is a good and less loaded one. easy to manipulate & work on it with complete functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
UI needs much more improvement, as when we look for a smart mirror kind of project, we would expect to have a little customisable UI for this OS so that it would be looking good. Other platform has moving ahead of Debian with respect to the UI Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Tenure is one of Debian's key benefits. It is one of the most renowned and established Linux distributions freely available to the general public and was released more than 20 years ago. Both developers and users can benefit more specifically from this reality.
Because it supports a wide range of architecture, it may be used with both old and modern processors and computer systems. For instance, outdated personal computers that cannot run the most recent Windows versions can be upgraded to Debian.
Additionally, Debian distributes free software. More than 57200 software items are available for free download. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
According to several detractors, one of Debian's most significant drawbacks is that it is conservative and slow to implement new features already present in other Linux variants and commercial operating systems.
Debian's problem is that it actively excludes non-free software from its official system while retaining a repository of non-free software housed on its primary servers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

debian rigorous testing process and stable release cycle some software package may be older or not as upto date as those found on other operating system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The apt package manager makes installing software easy. Security patches are always quickly released. It is a stable operating system. Has a big community following and a lot of online documentation. Ubuntu spawns from it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
If coming from a strong RedHat / CentOS background, several file locations and commands are different. Sometimes one will find an Install Guide of a particular software for Ubuntu and it can be slightly different on Debian even though Ubuntu is spawned from Debian.

I like the ease of use and installation. It's also an operating system with a great package and software management workflow. Debian is extremely flexible, being usable for personal and professional use, and requires little customization to make everything work. It perfectly balances "out of the box" usability and the ability to tweak every feature in the OS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes I believe that Debian is too heavy on resources. I can understand this because of the vast array of features and preinstalled software, but it does become an obstacle when you need to run simultaneous processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Very user friendly operating system and feels secure. It's not bulky or difficult for the operator.It is predictable and reliable, well supported across multiple applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The bug recognition/scanning tracker is not user friendly and very difficult to work with. TO the extent that it is rendered useless when you'd rather choose to not use it at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
