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.]

    Slack seems to be somewhere close to Debian, in this regard. But, I've never once succeeded in installing Slack. I tried a couple times in my early Linux days, and failed. Somehow, I've never made the effort to try again. Consequently, I only know what I've read about Slack.

    I *think* that Slack may be a little more user-friendly than Debian, but Slack has never made a name for itself as doing stupid-crazy shit to be user-friendly. Note the lack of Unity. ;^)
