Today is Debian Day and it's quite a special one, because the Debian Project has now been going for 30 years which is a very impressive milestone.

It’s Debian’s 30th anniversary!

      It’s literally the universal operating system. I use it on my home server, my rented v servers, my laptop, my desktop computer and on all the servers that I administrate for work.

    I’m late to the game, having tried debian for the first time a few weeks ago.

    I’m running the aarch64 version (KDE) in a virtual machine on my Mac (M2) and it’s the only distro that, out of the box, hardware acceleration is working for video decode of web videos.

    All other distro I’ve tried struggle to display YouTube videos.

    Big thumbs up from me.

    With increasing enshittification of so many Linux distros, community distros like Debian are more important than ever. Debian, Arch, Void, Gentoo are so important. I hope more people put some life into Mageia and OpenMandriva. We could use some more alternatives.

      I agree. Fedora and CentOS used to be great before IBM bought Red Hat, but Debian and Arch are still solid choices.

    Oh wow! I thought that the 30th anniversary would be in September, with the first release, but still, this calls for a celebration!
