Datamation examines the Debian and Ubuntu distros in detail by starting with the question, what is the difference between Debian and Ubuntu? Neither GNU/Linux distro has been out of Distrowatch's top six since 2005, and for the last four years neither has been out of the top three. There are good reasons for that. Though if systemd is not your cup of tea, there is also a Debian fork, Devuan, which is basically Debian GNU/Linux minus systemd.

[Ed Note: For many in the community who are Linux experts, this article may have no appeal. For those of us that are new to it and trying to learn, something this basic is a nice read and contains good information.]

    Huh. Back in the 32bit era (before live ISOs), SuSE would *never* install for me. In the 64bit world, it's still the most likely to fail to load from a live ISO.

    Well, if there's one thing you can always say about linux, it's that no two user experiences are alike!!
