Debian is a free operating system (OS) for your computer. An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run. Debian provides more than a pure OS: it comes with over 59000 packages, precompiled software bundled up in a nice format for easy installation on your machine.

I've seen different opinions on this. Some people will certainly be looking for community-maintained distributions since they are unlikely to undergo a change like this. In particular some sysadmin Youtubers (like Veronica Explains) have been saying that they are switching their clients over. But others have been saying that Debian won't really have too much of a chance as they don't offer the same amount of professional support. What do you think?

As much as I would love to see more interest in Debian I would more like to see less unfriendly/unfree activity by big players in the Linux world. The last thing we need is for to Ubuntu look like the next RHEL and some megacorp buys up Canonical.
