No great reason, really. I’ve tried Arch before and it needs a bit more manual administration than I prefer. The goal was to get off of Ubuntu and, having never used Fedora and Ubuntu being close to Debian, I just kind of went with what I’m more familiar with.
I have used all of those as daily drivers for a few months, they’re all great. But distros like Ubuntu or Elementary feel a bit constrained, and good old Debian gives you enough tinkering room.
I can’t answer for the user, but for me is just about habit. Debian is a “step up” from Ubuntu, but it mantain everything about package management and the like
Sick. I literally just switched from Ubuntu to Debian
Just curious, what made you choose Debian over say Fedora or Arch option?

Interesting, I had no idea. I played around with Whonix in a VM then plunged into Fedora, so I’m not all that familiar outside Red Hat/KDE based OS’s
