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.

Great move :)

I used to love the debian community on reddit. I use arch on desktop and debian on servers, however the arch community was a mixture of few really smart people and lots of angry people.

Loved how in the debian sub everyone was quiet and helpful without making a fuss. It felt like a really friendly community.

I'll chip in wherever I can too in helping people out.

That is great thank you. That is appreciated.

Arch has a great wiki and I began working on a wiki for debian as well since I could see how well it worked. Its not as good but still has some useful stuff.

Debian wiki is pretty nice but I wish they would format it a bit nicer and keep it more upto date. Or maybe use archwiki and gentoo wiki resources and only modify relavent parts.

The debian handbook on the other hand is pretty phenomenal.
