I’ve only been using Debian b as a daily driver and a home server for the past 4 months, but I love it.

I had been on Ubuntu for years but ultimately turned away because of them pushing snap packages. Also I had been curious about Debian and wanted to give it a shot to see if it was too bare bones.

Most of the work I do is scientific python with a dash of web dev. The standard packages “just work” for most of my needs, and when I need to venture out for something like Signal or Slack, flatpak has me taken care of.

For projects I either use venv or docker, which feels cleaner to me anyway.
