Today I talk about Debian's 'improvements' to their website and why they're still not good enough. 👇 PULL IT DOWN FOR THE GOOD STUFF 👇 Patreon - https://patreon.com/thelinuxcast Paypal - https://paypal.me/thelinuxcast Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCylGUf9BvQooEFjgdNudoQg/join Ko-fi - https://ko-fi.com/thelinuxcast ===== Follow us 🐧🐧 ====== Discord - https://discord.gg/bPJ4A3bPbV Odysee - https://odysee.com/#x2F;invite/@thelinuxcast:4 TILvids(Peertube) - https://tilvids.com/c/thelinuxcast_channel/videos Mastodon- https://fosstodon.org/@thelinuxcast https://gitlab.com/thelinuxcast Matrix - https://matrix.to/#/#the-linux-cast:matrix.org The Website http://thelinuxcast.org Contact us email@thelinuxcast.org Amazon Wishlist - https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1J3W9HF4O2M7T?ref_=wl_share Logo Courtesy of - pedropaulo.net Intro Courtesy of - https://www.fragcgi.com/?i=1 ==== Special Thanks to Our Patrons! ==== https://thelinuxcast.org/patrons/ ==== Referenced ==== https://debian.org #debian #linux #thelinuxcast

TLDW from ChatGPT:

The video is a critique of the Debian Linux distribution’s website and its user experience, primarily focusing on the difficulties in finding and downloading the appropriate ISO images. The presenter praises Debian’s stability and community but criticizes the website’s design, stating that it’s not user-friendly, especially for new Linux users. The video highlights how the website layout, multiple clicks, and confusing file tree structure can make it challenging to locate the desired ISO images, particularly for the live installer versions. The presenter suggests that while improvements have been made, the ISO download process can still be convoluted and feels like the distribution is not encouraging new users. The overall message conveys a desire for Debian to make its ISOs more easily accessible and user-friendly.

      You gotta download it either way, netinstall or not. At least that way you can pick and choose what you actually need. Are you trying to set up a computer in the woods?

        Sometimes, yeah. There are a lot shit networks out there.

        With the full, I can at least get a functioning base system without needing a network connection. With the net, network no worky, no Debian.
