Datamation examines the Debian and Ubuntu distros in detail by starting with the question, what is the difference between Debian and Ubuntu?

Though if systemd is not your cup of tea, there is also a Debian fork, Devuan, which is basically Debian GNU/Linux minus systemd.

Some of this is "blind men talking about the elephant" analogy but when I was doing Debian stuff the motto was "Universal Operating System".
