After a run of
RedHat - Fedora - OpenBSD - OSX to about 2007, I gave Debian more of a try in the form of #! Linux. That was a great minimalist distro. Ever since then it’s just one Debian variant or another. It does the job with minimal fuss.
It really helps that I don’t push the hardware with shiny new equipment or need much in 3D drivers. Linux Mint on desktops, Debian servers, Ubuntu only for driver issues, Raspian/Armbian on SBCs.
Then what makes Debian its only a month younger than Slackware?
The annoying younger sibling?

I’m partial to installing vanilla, headless Debian and then frankensteining everything together myself from there.
Maybe the only time the words Dick and Dyke appear together.
