    Nice work!
    Some small pieces of feedback:

    • use fedora
    • or any other rhel derivate

      Not helpful… If that is your opinion, then at least put some reasoning behind it…

        i’m sorry.

        i personnally think, that debian is in a dying state.

        your article is very good and helpful. but just things like installing sudo is not very comfortable. any other linux os has it installed from the start.

        also your security tips are helpful for any linux os.

          That’s not reasoning, that’s still just your opinion. Note, if you follow up with a straight up claim that “debian is in a dying state” I’m going to expect evidence to back it up. So keep that in mind should you choose to continue dying on this hill.

            Debian just hit 30 years and is still one of the most used Linux distros. It’s not.

            Fanboism. There are entire data centers (like linode) running Debian under the hood. It’s stable and consistent.

            Thinks it’s in dying state and the guy recommends the distro that’s doing it’s best to kill itself. What’s next, “Why don’t you use SCO linux?”
