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.

I have used Debian for the past 3 years, who else uses Debian?

Also, what makes you use Debian?

I always use Debian unstable, but my desktop has an Nvidia GPU and I want some stability for #Warframe and #Minecraft, the only two games I play.

So I just installed the latest update by changing my /etc/apt/sources.list.d from Bookworm to Trixie.
