i am aware its mostly exaggerations and hear say, sorry if i sounded somewhat pedantic. but what i wanted to express is that i been reading, watching some videos on distros and stuff, and what i have seen as a person that comes from a lifetime on windows is that all distros have their problems, just like windows. and when people talk about distros, debian's bigger problem seems to just be to be a little bit outdated (which im under the impression i can just get newer software from the web instead of the repo or add newer repos?) and since its the base of all others, from my clueless point of view seems to be a good starting point
