From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Debian (Testing) I used it for a good month, and man was I disappointed. Only some things are actually up to date and packaged correctly. The nvidia drivers don't load the drm module because it's not called nvidia-drm on Debian (testing) it's called nvidia-current-drm. Also apt is the worst package manager
Use nala instead of apt, it's mostly a different frontend that looks way nicer, but also has vast improvements such as simultaneous downloads and a controllable history
Nala is even worse, so few commands
why do you say apt is the worst pm?
If you need to install a package that the author messed up the dependency lists for your shit outta luck. Other than manually unzipping and installing it you're stuck. Searching for a package is hell cause it's a massive list with like 4 lines per package. Yay/pacman is the best package manager, because it's got quick commands and when you search for something you don't have to make a mental note of the names you can just type 1, 4, 17, etc to choose a package to install. Oh and there aren't built shorter commands for apt! You can't say apt in package you have to write out install every single time
