Hello, so far my Linux experience has been mostly related with Ubuntu. I was going to try Debian just to try it out. Adv Reply. February 7th, 2. Re: Why Debian installation so bigger than Ubuntu? Hi there. If I recall correctly a bunch of the software you can install yourself afterwards, if you have an internet connection, comes on some of the DVDs. It is very powerful as compared to other Linux based operating systems.
Debian is the largest upstream Linux distribution with a bigger community and features stable, testing, and unstable branches, offering over packages. The available number of Arch binary packages is more modest.
However, when including the AUR, the quantities are comparable. Bottom Line up front, Puppy Linux is great for specific use cases like old hardware and a great way to set up a live USB environment for troubleshooting hardware or a network. Mint may seem a little quicker in use day-to-day, but on older hardware, it will definitely feel faster, whereas Ubuntu appears to run slower the older the machine gets.

Jul 21, 14, 18 I was just reading a thread in here about which Linux distro to choose.
It said to go with Debain if you're a power user that wants to just dive right in, so I decided to give it a try. It's 12GB to download! Is it really going to be efficient at such a huge size? I want Linux as a fast and efficient alternative to Windows.
I also want it to have great hardware support. Ubuntu 7. Any suggestions? Oct 15, 12, 0 You're probably going down the wrong route if you were disappointed with Ubuntu, but it's big because Debian has so many packages.
The base of Debian and Ubuntu isn't that much different. Debian is also available for niche architectures.
Huge Number of Software Packages Debian has a large number of packages currently in stable: packages which use the deb format. Different Releases Besides our stable release, you can install newer software versions by using the testing or unstable releases. We do not hide our software bugs, and you can easily submit new bug reports or join the discussion.
Debian Policy and Developer Tools Debian offers high-quality software. To learn more about our standards, read the policy which defines technical requirements for every package included in the distribution. Our Continuous Integration strategy involves Autopkgtest runs tests on packages , Piuparts tests installation, upgrade and removal , and Lintian checks packages for inconsistencies and errors.
Debian is reliable. Debian proves its reliability every day in thousands of real world scenarios, ranging from single user laptops to super-colliders, stock exchanges and the automotive industry. It's also popular in the academic world, in science and in the public sector. Debian has many Experts.
Our package maintainers do not only take care of the Debian packaging and incorporating new upstream versions. Often they're experts on the application itself and therefore contribute to upstream development directly.
