Debian


Last Update: 2025-12-13 01:23 UTC


The Debian Project is an association of individuals who have made common cause to create a free operating system. This operating system is called Debian. Debian systems currently use the Linux kernel. Linux is a completely free piece of software started by Linus Torvalds and supported by thousands of programmers worldwide. Of course, the thing that people want is application software: programs to help them get what they want to do done, from editing documents to running a business to playing games to writing more software. Debian comes with over 50,000 packages (precompiled software that is bundled up in a nice format for easy installation on your machine) - all of it free. It's a bit like a tower. At the base is the kernel. On top of that are all the basic tools. Next is all the software that you run on the computer. At the top of the tower is Debian -- carefully organizing and fitting everything so it all works together.

Popularity (hits per day): 12 months: 4 (1,588), 6 months: 4 (1,681), 3 months: 4 (1,555), 4 weeks: 4 (1,551), 1 week: 7 (1,331)

Average visitor rating: 9.0/10 from 483 review(s).

Table Notes and Explanations

(Please refer to the table below.)
  • Select view:
  • To compare the software in this project to the software available in other distributions, please see our Compare Packages page.
  • Notes: In case where multiple versions of a package are shipped with a distribution, only the default version appears in the table. For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.
  • Colour scheme: green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.

Hi all i am using Debian from version 2.2 Potato 2000 - till now 25 years, tested almost every other Linux / Unix distro.

But at the end only Debian is worth and Rock Solid

We have hundreds of server systems upgraded from 5-6 major releases and everything runs smoothly.

Some of the web sites that we colocate have 1+ miliion daily views.

Debian definitely helped us to grow over years and to be persistent in fullfiling all client needs.

VM, Storage, K8s everything is just working !!!!

Thank you Debian team !!!!!

Debian is maybe not the best distro for those completely new to Linux because it's installer is not as simple to use as that for some more beginner-friendly distros, and also it tends to be more bare-bones and so needs a lot more tweaking after installation. However, for those with some experience with Linux, who want to customise the OS to their liking, it provides a stable, well-configured, base on which to build. You can install it with no desktop environment or any of many that the installer gives as options: Gnome, KDE Plasma, Xfce, LXDE, LXQt, MATE, Cinnamon.

Just a tip on desktop environment choice: For low system resource usage (to have a relatively light OS), choose Xfce or LXQt or LXDE. For ease of connecting a laptop to external screens or projectors of different screen resolutions, choose KDE plasma.

Debian has 3 releases or branches: unstable, testing and stable, and a fourth called oldstable which is the previous stable version that is still supported.

Unstable is the development branch, here you get newer software versions but at the cost of stability. Sometimes and update can cause it to break. The unstable branch is always named sid.

Testing is the branch that will become the next stable release when it has finished being tested. The current testing branch is named forky. When it near release, the testing branch is almost stable - most of the bugs have been fixed, but early in the release cycle (like now in 2025) the testing branch can be less stable than the unstable branch because bug fixes go first to the unstable branch.

The stable branch (currently Debian 13 / Trixie) is very well tested and stable, and gives Debian it's reputation for stability. The drawback is it tends to have older versions of software in its repositories, especially towards the end of the release cycle when most of the software versions may be 2 or more years old and many may be versions that are no longer supported by their developers. This can to some extent be alleviated by using backports from the testing branch, installing debs from software developers, or using appimages or flatpaks so it is not as big a problem as you may think.

Debian also has pure blends, which are custom collections of software for various use cases, for example there are pure blends for education, GIS, accessibility, medical use, multimedia, science, children, and ham radio.

Debian is one of the most used base distros for other distros. Distros building on Debian as a base include MX Linux, AntiX, Q4OS, Devuan, and Ubuntu. There are many others. This is because Debian is stable and well-built and well-maintained and has a huge amount of software titles in its repos that distros based on it can use.

The main pros for Debian stable are: stability and customisability, large choice of desktop environments and thousands of software packages in the repos.

The main cons are: older versions of software, especially late in the release cycle. Less user-friendly for new users compared to some other distros (like Mint).

I would recommend Debian for those who are at least somewhat experience with Linux already, and want a stable and customisable distro to get work done. It is good for educational or office / institutional use and as a daily driver.

I have been using Debian 13.2.0 for a short period of time, and I must say, I am impressed! I have tried other Linux distributions such as Fedora 42/43 and Ubuntu 24.04 / 25.10 (and the version just before 25.10 - I forgot the version number). I had problems with Ubuntu crashing and running very slowly, and I found it irritating that the .ISO was packed full of software that most people don't even need. I like Debian's lean .ISO with just the right selection of software made available for it.

Installation was easy, but I must warn non-techies: you will need a tiny bit of computer know-how to install and understand Debian. It isn't as straightforward as Ubuntu, but once you get Debian installed, you will have a really good Linux setup. Another thing that I like about Debian is that it is conservative in its adoption of new software packages. A lot of the software packages are older versions, but you can bet your bottom pound (I live in the UK, not America or Canada) that it won't crash on you like what happened to me when I was using Fedora 43 and Ubuntu 25.10. I was sick of reading "kernel error this" and "problem that" when reading the Fedora Project website, so I jumped ship and went over to Debian. I'm glad I did!
