Prior to bookworm making non-free easy and nvidia driver opening one could make some arguments.

These days, though, nothing compelling can be said to walk past Debian.

    Yeah, but the post I replied to said "since 1998". That is prior to bookworm.

    Personally, I don't care for it too much. Every time I try it (which is rare) something annoys me. "DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE"s, deviation from upstream that renders official documentation less valuable. With Arch (which I don't use anymore), you can be pretty sure that what's on your machine is what's currently released by upstream. This refers both to version and the software itself. Remember cdrkit? xscreensaver? The weak OpenSSH keys? Sure, these must notable examples are from long ago, but there were just so many issues over the course of my "career" that the distribution for me is somewhat burned. Also because all of this could have been easily avoided.

    Anyhow, use what you want, but it's for sure not my favorite distro.

    What about Debian's inability to run Proton 10?
