From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Debian
Debian 12 Bookworm is their best release ever, and I am seeing a lot of positive opinions about it suddenly. It may be a Ubuntu 16.04 moment.
Bookworm was the final straw that made me switch to Debian (and linux in general full time). Such a polished OS. And if the release cycle doesn't suit your workflow its a very smooth change over to one of the many debian-based distros.
I am on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (since 16.04), and I will absolutely try it. The non free firmware support seems like Debian has become more open minded and pragmatic, and I like that. Ubuntu is safe, but I have become comfortable enough with Linux to step up my game with a more solid distro.
I love debian now
Does Debian let you specify regulatory compliance at install time? Or is it a do it yourself manually situation where you write an Ansible playbook.
Details ?
Go check The Linux Experiment's video, among a lot of other videos and discussion forums.
Those are not "details", but "blur sources".
Have you bothered to research the consensus and what Debian's new release has? Literally 2 minutes away if you search internet instead of replying. Do not expect spoonfeeding.
Substantiating your claims isn't "spoonfeeding", it's just common courtesy to reassure others that you aren't talking completely out of your arse.
I provided it above, that Linuxtuber summarises everything.
Bla bla bla, so much energy to just not give what I ask for.
