I believe Debian can be improved by adding more containerization features out of the box, and it should make some updates when it comes to the UI. In addition to the needed improvements, I think if Debian had a memory-based distribution, similar to Alpine, that would be great, as we could get benefits in terms of memory or embedded systems. I think Debian needs improvements, especially with GCP, in terms of cloud deployment and integration.
I believe security on Debian is top-notch due to its long history and the many individuals and organizations that rely on it, meaning there are many eyes on it. Reliability and security are fantastic; I have never had any issues with either. I would say package management could be a little easier to use, install, reinstall, and roll back packages. It seems there should be a more deterministic way to do that. It does seem that you are running a lot of random install scripts to install things or relying on another two or three package management services, so there could be better software installation methods. Maybe apt, the package management tool, could have some efficiencies added to allow one to roll back more easily and keep a log. Debian does have some logs that show recent changes, but it is still a little hard to roll back or know what changes were made when; the interface is not as clean as it could be. The installer experience with Debian is not great, but it is not terrible now. With AI, it is pretty easy to follow the basic steps to get it going. Most people setting up Linux are often using a distro based on Debian rather than vanilla Debian.
I wish the company responsible for Debian would send communications about updates and new features to keep people informed and to give Debian the recognition and praise that it deserves.
Debian is a reliable open-source operating system ideal for servers and desktops. With its wide array of packages and stable releases, it suits developers and organizations seeking dependable performance and security.Debian stands out for its stability and extensive package repository, making it a go-to choice for developers. Its open-source nature ensures transparency and flexibility. Debian's package management system, APT, simplifies software installation and updates. Its security updates...
In terms of improvements, I think Debian is fine as it is. I'm not an expert, so for me, it is acceptable.
