Debian 12 Review

  • Those installer problems are mysterious. I just installed Debian 12 with no issues, so in my book, being able to use WiFi from the outset was enough of an improvement to earn a couple big ol’ thumbs up.

    Sounds a bit like a faulty image. I had similar problems once with Ubuntu. Turned out the image was corrupted. Always check your md5sums, kids.

  • I had problems with the installer a few months ago when I tried to do an install using Virt-Manager. I would have assumed it would be fixed before release, so that does sound like an issue. I upgraded my bare metal install from 11 so I don’t have any problems there.

    Other than that, a lot of Debian reviewers don’t seem to “get” Debian. I tend to avoid a lot of Debian reviews because it seems like most complaints boil down to, “It doesn’t do this - thing - like Ubuntu (or some other distro) does.” Debian is a vanilla Linux distribution that allows you to do your own set up and customizing, hopefully avoiding the poor decisions and introduced bugs common in the more “coordinated” distros.
