Do you have a reason to switch from Ubuntu to a Debian dev machine?

Question

Debian

I started with Ubuntu - friendship did not develop with it. There were always some problems.
After that, I worked on Debian for a long time - everything was fine.
Then he moved back to Ubuntu - again there was a sediment.
I'm moving back.
Of course, it may be due to my curvature, but in terms of web development in Debian, I had less problems.
Everything worked out without problems. The sites were easy to launch. Here with the rights it is necessary to suffer more.
I can't explain, but it's like this.

Can you say anything besides the fact that the hands are crooked? Is there any reason to switch to Debian for a home computer with backend development? In terms of servers - it's clear that Debian is better there. It's more stable.

Answer 1

The problem is not clear, well, you like Debian more, so use it, why torture yourself?

Answer 2

Debian on desktop yuzal. There were constant problems with outdated software, I had to connect testing and unstable, and everything turned into ubuntu. I didn't understand what kind of problems you had on ubuntu, but check out mint.

Answer 3

Pffuu million, there are only a couple of distributions marked stable, Debian is one of them.
If you like to constantly dig into the settings, fiddle with packages, restore documents, then install ubuntu. And if you want to come home, relax, write a little code, and have everything always so unambiguously debian.
Ubuntu is better only with fresh packages, the presence of repositories, which makes installation easier. At first, you will have to tinker with debian, but then you will put everything forever and ever.
For several years I have been sitting on Debian, Ubuntu was constantly buggy. As Debian 9 installed and I'm not worried until now.

Answer 4

Well, it's all about the stability and freshness of the packages. If you do not need the latest versions of packages with all the goodies, then you can use debian without a twinge of conscience. However, even on Debian, you can connect the developer's repository and get the latest versions, this will not always work and not with everyone. If you have a strong emphasis on development, then stay on debian. It will be closer to the production. I use ubuntu at home, but for development I have a debian server, I don’t need it at home and I enjoy fresh news. I have not experienced problems for a long time, it works like a clock.

Answer 5

You must look for evidence yourself. You need them or you don't need them. Here no one will persuade you, except for already quite fanatics and trolls.

Answer 6

There are only four stable distributions:

1. Debian
   
2. CentOS
   
3. RHEL
   
4. Oracle Unbreakable Linux
   

If you need to work at work for a salary - take one of them (the last 2 cost money). If you need to show off, and instead of developers you have a hipster who pulls fresh untested buggy software into the project, for which fresh versions of packages are vital - use Ubuntu / Fedora / Kali / BolgenOS. I prefer a predictable, stable system with known problems and equally known solutions to beta testing.
