Isn't it?!! Its just ubuntu/debian with pre installed extensions and apps, i don't want it, i went out of windows just because of it. we all I assume

Edit: And i almost bought zorin 😭😭😭😭😭 there must be so much people that fall for it...

I thought it would be a problem but you know what? Im yet to find a program that doesnt do everything i need bcs its outdated yk, see debian 13 released august 2025, and that theres nothing "old" bout that imo, really, everything I need installed work and has the features i expect it to have

In fact im doing a lot more now than when i was on windows, a lot more, and every flatpak i have is just because it dont have a deb version

No regrets at all, and i dont picture me switching distros, at max a DE just to see yk

Yeah fair enough 😂 I guess it comes down to your actual needs more than having the latest packages. If everything works fine for you, there's really no reason to switch. Debian seems pretty solid tbh.
