Debian is a large, complex operating system, and a huge open source project. It’s thirty years old now. To many people, some of its aspects are weird. Most such things have a good reason, but it can be hard to find out what it is. This is an attempt to answer some such questions, without being a detailed history of the project.

    Why is Debian the way it is?

    Because it’s stable. Not some poorly bundled OS that has broken installers on their website for weeks like Ubuntu does sometimes.
