Debian is a free operating system (OS) for your computer. An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run. Debian provides more than a pure OS: it comes with over 59000 packages, precompiled software bundled up in a nice format for easy installation on your machine.

Been daily driving Arch for 6 months now, but considering moving back to Debian. Not really taking full advantage of the Arch pros (water.house)

While a bleeding-edge kernel is great, I don't particularly need it. pacman is nice, but apt gets the job done too. Has anyone else switched from Arch to @debian? If so, did you miss anything from Arch that Debian couldn't replicate?

My two Linux loves are Arch and Debian. Both have their strengths and I'd be happy in either land. I use Debian for servers and Arch for my laptops (and one non critical server) and am at home with either.
