  • I rub Debian Sid/Unstable on both my desktop and my work laptop’s WSL2 VM. I use Debian for a lot of reasons, but I think one of the biggest is it’s the “lowest common denominator” for the entire tree base and beyond, and thusly works as much.

    Some tool only offers Ubuntu install instructions? It’ll work.

    Something needs to be installed from source? Any needed build tools are at most an apt install away.

    “Help I can’t figure out why my systemd service isn’t starting in Arch”. Pending systemd version incompatibilities, there’s likely nothing Arch-specific about that problem.

    Debian has always felt like, I dunno, Latin. So many other languages are based on it, or somehow arrived at the same way to word things despite it, and so once you understand it you can mentally tie all kinds of things together when you run into something in a different language (read: OS).
