Debian offers features that are best for my needs, including being open source, which allows for the implementation of many things and the use of a wide variety of open-source tools. It is excellent for developing in a really short time, and it is also very sustainable and stable, meaning it works without any major software updates, and once you program it, it should be done. Debian's stability and open-source nature have helped me in my work. For instance, I used to have a Windows-based server, which required a lot of dependency on third-party software, making it high-maintenance and costly. In contrast, with Debian, I can develop quickly with any code language, such as Python, Java, or JavaScript. The switch I made over the past three years made the process significantly less labor-intensive and maintenance-free. In terms of cybersecurity, there is a Debian-based Linux operating system called Kali Linux. It has a wide range of tools helpful for penetration testing and network security. This aspect is intriguing and educational, whether for personal exploration or for the company if you want to dive into security topics such as zero-day exploits. In terms of usability and integration with other systems, regarding sustainability, Debian is very user-friendly because the applications I use are most frequently web-based. As long as the system has a supported web browser, it works across different platforms including Mac, Windows, Android, or iOS, and that is where its user-friendliness shines. Debian has positively impacted my organization primarily in cost-efficiency, with on-premises hardware running faster and cheaper.
