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.

I had problems with the installer a few months ago when I tried to do an install using Virt-Manager. I would have assumed it would be fixed before release, so that does sound like an issue. I upgraded my bare metal install from 11 so I don't have any problems there.
Other than that, a lot of Debian reviewers don't seem to "get" Debian. I tend to avoid a lot of Debian reviews because it seems like most complaints boil down to, "It doesn't do this - thing - like Ubuntu (or some other distro) does." Debian is a vanilla Linux distribution that allows you to do your own set up and customizing, hopefully avoiding the poor decisions and introduced bugs common in the more "coordinated" distros.
