Meet Debian

Debian is a free, open-source operating system developed by a worldwide community. Its Linux distribution runs on laptops, desktop computers, servers, and cloud infrastructure, with a broad collection of packaged applications and development tools. The APT package manager handles software installation and updates, helping users maintain anything from a personal workstation to a server environment.

You can install Debian from a network installer, try a live image before committing, or deploy an official cloud image. Several desktop environments are available, while server installations can stay focused on the services they need. Stable releases receive security updates, and testing and unstable branches offer newer software for people willing to manage more frequent changes.
