BTRFS, GUI Flatpak manager, Theming, nonfree codecs etc., printer support, timeshift preconfigured

Their goal is to make vanilla debian usable, with only debian tech. It is just a config, no "small distro dies and users need to switch"

Might not be the most secure (loose printer configs, preinstalled drivers for random stuff that is not normally a problem)

SpiralLinux is my Son; I love it so dearly. I install it on anything first, since it has some of the drivers my devices need the most. It makes Debian fun instead of a chore.

Debians UX really sucks.

Great base, used and administered it. It tought me how to upgrade Linux Mint when their way too late updater is broken or nonexistent.

APT on Debian is also hella stable. 11->12 just worked.

Fedoras DNF is just garbage. 39->40 just didnt work, even though their change is way smaller.

And nala makes apt look nice too.

Debian doesn't have a dedicated UX

What are you referring too?

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 months ago

Do you mean UI? Because the UX of Debian is "here's a menu to pick all your things on install. Get used to picking all your things all the time because this distro is a baked potato"

Personally I love that UX and its what draws me to systems like Debian and Arch because no one knows what I like better than I do, so why should I be using someone else's vision of what a good UX is
