Watching Debian's development (and contributing to it) is a great joy - while some time ago there were valid reasons for creating Ubuntu, and users had reasons to consider Debian outdated and complicated, all that is gone now. Take a Debian 9 installer (in some cases, maybe the non-free firmware version), and it installs on the most awkward of hardware without complaining. If it doesn't, just fix it, because it gives you everything you need to do so. Most important, Debian is the distribution that kept me satisfied for long enough that I am now a developer (keyring update pending ;)). I lost track of becoming one with Gentoo, because they were cool but did not have good quality assurance, and I los ttrack at SuSE because they had great quality but the community was questionnable (that changed by now, mind you) - Debian has the best of both worlds, a great community, great tools, and QA anddevelopment tools that make it fun to work with and still get respected in enterprise environments. So thank you, Debian! Cheers, Nik
