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.

    The webaite could be nicer, but I wouldn’t call that a big problem. Plain debian is mostly used for webservers or by users with at least some linux experience. These won’t struggle that much with clicking the right link on the website.

      I prefer the Debian website over most other distro’s modern look. It’s simple, like Debian.

        I wouldnt call it simple and I definitely see issues with the UX from a actual usability standpoint but I don’t think it has to be modernized or should be simplified for beginners, that’s not the goal of Debian!
