###### Reasons to Adopt
|
|
|
|
* **Debian is the "grand daddy" of many common Linux distributions today.** Its age implies a long time of development, understanding, and implementation.
|
|
|
|
* **It's extremely easy to install and use.** Time is valuable and can easily be wasted setting up and configuring other options. Debian includes the `apt` package manager, making the installation of key software a one or two liner.
|
|
|
|
* **It's not Ubuntu.** Ubuntu is moving away from APT in favor of Canonical's own Snap, which creates a division in package maintenance efforts as well as unnecessary confusion for the end user when looking for where to source new software.
|
|
|
|
* **It's dangerous.** Debian does not stop you from using the root user, unlike some distributions. If you wish to spin up a single user server environment and execute everything as root, you can. There's no need to ask for permission to do things on your own server or virtual machine.
