Debian is a free operating system (OS) for your computer. An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run. Debian provides more than a pure OS: it comes with over 59000 packages, precompiled software bundled up in a nice format for easy installation on your machine.

Outreachy does internships for open source stuff. It seems like this redesigned page was an internship and this project is being hosted on a subdomain of debian until it's finalized.

This blog post is also on Planet Debian: https://dev.to/0xfaker/re-styling-debians-download-page-3lmm

This is so much nicer.

Before I had so much difficulty trying to find the exact ISO I wanted.

Isn’t it a little too easy to just serve up the netinstaller?

Personally, I prefer a big list with hundreds of ISOs. I have plenty of time and I’ll find the image I need (even if it is the netinstall).
