From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Debian is sometimes frustratingly out of date for daily apps like the web browser. I'd rather recommend something with a bit more updates like Mint.
Use flatpack for those then?
Good point, flatpack wasn't widespread when I tried Debian as a workstation years ago.
just use firefox flatpak and you're good
Fuuuuck flatpack. Just run firefox nightly and you'll be fine. Release 118.0a1 for me at the moment.
My dad's PC has ESR with uBlock anyway, so whatever.
