Well, it's driven me to Debian.

[–] ThatGuyNamedZeus@feddit.org -4 points 1 week ago (4 children)

I read somewhere that Debian was never supposed to be used as a daily driver.

If you want to use Debian it's only worth using within QubesOS as far as security is concerned

Please try to find where you read that, cause that sounds ridiculous.

Source for any of this? I ask as someone who has been daily driving it for about 12 years now.

Debian is a great foundation for any distribution.

That said, Debian is perfectly fine to use as a daily driver. Besides RedHat, it has had the most stable longevity of any distribution.

stable? I guess, I don't use it, I'll take your word for it

secure? what kind of whitelisting application can you get for it? if you can't get one for it then it's not secure

[–] Salvo@aussie.zone 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I suppose “mature” would be a different word, but still not 100% accurate.

I meant Stable and Secure as in “consistent over time”.

The fact that it is also Stable as an operating system and Secure as in production workflow.

They are Conservative without being regressive.

so how do you keep malware from running on it?

And don't say "be careful about what you click on" the days of having to be tricked into clicking on things to get infected are long gone. Yes, linux machines CAN and do get malware

The heck are you talking about? The baseline security config in Debian is far better than most distros out there, and QubesOS is really only realistic for folks with the threat models of those in C-suites or targets of nation state hackers. Seriously what makes your threat model so severe that you need better isolation and security than what Debian provides (which is already far above average) yet you'll still post about it on forums?
